3. Cut the sheet into 3-4 inch thick strips and further cut the strips into triangles. 
4. Brush some olive oil and spread pizza sauce on each triangle. Place 1 basil leaf in the centre and spread some mozzarella cheese on one line of each triangle and roll to shape into croissant. 
5. Preheat oven to 180˚C.
6. Grease a baking tray with some olive oil, place the croissants, cover with damp muslin cloth and set aside to prove for 10-15 minutes. 
7. Put the tray into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and slightly cool.
