  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 package of pre-made pizza dough or crescent roll dough
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup assorted toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
– 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Dough: If using pizza dough, roll it out onto a floured surface until it’s about ¼ inch thick. If using crescent dough, unroll it and press the seams together.

3. Cut the Dough: Use a pizza cutter or knife to slice the dough into squares or circles, approximately 4×4 inches each.

4. Add Sauce: Place a spoonful of pizza sauce in the center of each piece of dough, leaving some space around the edges.

5. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce, then add your desired toppings.

6. Fold the Dough: Bring the edges of the dough together to create a pocket. Pinch to seal, and press down with a fork for extra security.

7. Egg Wash (Optional): Beat an egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the pockets for a golden finish.

8. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled pockets on a greased baking sheet or parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.

9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

10. Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza pockets to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with extra pizza sauce for dipping!
