Instructions
Making Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets is a breeze. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add milk and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead it for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.
4. Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut it into circles, approximately 4-6 inches in diameter.
5. Add Fillings: Place a tablespoon of pizza sauce in the center of each circle. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and any optional toppings.
6. Seal Pockets: Fold the dough over, creating a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal securely, ensuring the filling won’t escape during baking.
7. Brush with Olive Oil: Optionally, brush the tops of the pockets with olive oil for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Place the pizza pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cool Down: Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
