  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 1 minute

Ingredients

– 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

– ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– Marinara sauce for serving (optional)


Instructions

Making Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets is simple. Just follow these steps for a delicious treat:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into squares or circles, approximately 4-5 inches wide.

3. Assemble Filling: In a bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, chopped bell peppers, olives, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.

4. Fill Dough: Place a spoonful of the filling mixture in the center of each dough piece. Be careful not to overfill!

5. Seal the Pockets: Fold the dough over to create a pocket, and use a fork to crimp the edges, sealing them tightly.

6. Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the pizza pockets for a golden finish.

7. Bake: Place the filled pockets onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

8. Cool Slightly: Once out of the oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
