Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lina Carter
  • Total Time: 2 minute

Ingredients

– 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup pizza sauce
– ½ cup diced pepperoni (or other desired toppings)
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– 1 tablespoon flour (for dusting)


Instructions

Making Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets is a fun and rewarding process. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Your Workspace: Lightly flour your working surface to prevent sticking.
3. Roll Out Dough: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough and cut it into squares, roughly 4×4 inches each.
4. Add Filling: On one half of each square, add a spoonful of pizza sauce, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, some pepperoni (or other toppings), and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and oregano.
5. Seal the Pockets: Fold the other half of the dough over the filling. Pinch the edges to seal securely. For added security, you can use a fork to crimp the edges.
6. Prepare for Baking: Place the filled pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil and beat the egg. Then, brush the egg wash over each pocket for a golden finish.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove the pockets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
9. Slice and Serve: If desired, you can slice each pocket in half to show off the gooey cheese and fillings.

These steps will ensure that your Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets are deliciously satisfying!
