  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup pizza sauce
– Optional toppings (pepperoni, vegetables, etc.)
– Additional olive oil for brushing (optional)


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.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll create amazing and delicious pizza pockets!
