Creating your Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets is a breeze if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This higher temperature ensures a crispy crust.

2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut the dough into squares (approximately 4-5 inches wide).

3. Add Filling: Place a spoonful of pizza sauce on the center of each dough square. Top with mozzarella cheese and your choice of pepperoni or other toppings.

4. Season the Filling: Sprinkle a bit of dried oregano and garlic powder over the toppings for added flavor.

5. Seal the Pockets: Gently fold the edges of the dough square over the filling. Press down firmly to seal, ensuring no filling spills during baking. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

6. Prepare for Baking: Arrange the sealed pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a beaten egg or olive oil to achieve a golden color.

7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the pockets are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
