These Cheesy Pizza Pockets are a delightful snack or meal option that combines the flavors of pizza in a convenient, handheld form. Perfect for a quick lunch or party appetizer, these pockets are easy to make and even easier to enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza crust

Filling:

  • 6 tablespoons pasta sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slices pepperoni

Garnish:

  • Dried oregano, optional, for garnish
  • Olive oil, optional, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto the parchment paper or a lightly floured surface. Slice the dough into 6 equal squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  3. Add the Filling: On one half of each dough square, add 1 tablespoon pasta sauce, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, and lay 2 slices of pepperoni on top.
  4. Seal Each Pocket: Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Use a fork to press and securely seal the edges, enclosing the filling.
  5. Apply Garnish: For enhanced flavor and a golden crust, lightly brush the tops of the pockets with olive oil, then sprinkle with dried oregano and a little extra mozzarella cheese, if desired.
  6. Bake: Place the assembled pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  7. Serve: Allow the pizza pockets to cool slightly before serving. Pair with warm pasta sauce or ranch dressing as a dip.
