  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup pizza sauce
– ½ cup chopped pepperoni (or other toppings of choice)
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– Olive oil (for greasing)


Instructions

Creating your own Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets is straightforward! Just follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
2. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
3. Cut Squares: Use a pizza cutter or knife to slice the dough into equal squares, roughly 4 inches by 4 inches.
4. Fill Pockets: On one half of each dough square, place a spoonful of pizza sauce, a generous amount of mozzarella cheese, and your preferred toppings. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
5. Seal Edges: Fold the dough square over to create a pocket. Press the edges with a fork to seal completely.
6. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the sealed pockets to give them a golden color when baked.
7. Bake: Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Cool and Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving for a few minutes.

Following these steps will lead you to delicious pizza pockets that are sure to impress!
