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.
