- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 10 tablespoons Hiland Unsalted Butter (cold)
- 1/3 cup ice cold water
- 1 cup Ben Jack Larado Bloody Mary Mix
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

- Mix the flour and salt in a mixing bowl, and add chilled butter. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the ice cold water. Mix in using pastry cutter. Use hands at the end to finish mixing and form dough into a ball. You will see butter pieces in the ball. Place dough on a floured work surface.
- Flour rolling pin and roll out dough into a 10-inch rectangular shape. Use pastry brush to brush off excess flour. Fold the bottom third of dough toward the center and the top third over that, brushing off excess flour. Turn the dough a quarter turn and roll out the same way 5 more times, adding flour as needed.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove dough, and cut using a biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Return to refrigerator until ready to assemble.
- To make sauce, pour bloody mary mix into a small saucepan. Remove 1 tablespoon of sauce and place in small bowl with cornstarch, mix well. Heat bloody mary mix, then when warm add cornstarch mixture and whisk until the sauce thickens. Stir in oregano, and remove from heat.
- To make topping, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan, add chopped mushrooms and saute. Remove from heat and cool.
- Gather all ingredients and remove pastry rounds from the refrigerator. To assemble, spoon 1 teaspoon sauce on rounds and spread to near edges. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese and top with mushrooms, tomatoes and both peppers.
- Place in a preheated 400-degree oven, and bake 10 minutes. Bottom of the pastry should be lightly browned. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately while still warm.
