Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Pockets

  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional fillings: pepperoni, cooked sausage, veggies

Topping

  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the pizza pockets.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into rectangles of your preferred size for the pockets.
  3. Add Sauce and Cheese: Place a spoonful of pizza sauce onto each dough rectangle, then add a generous handful of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  4. Add Fillings: Add your choice of optional fillings such as pepperoni, cooked sausage, or vegetables on top of the cheese.
  5. Seal Pockets: Fold the dough over the fillings to create pockets and press the edges together firmly with a fork to seal them well.
  6. Apply Topping: Brush the top of each pocket with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the pockets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can customize the pockets with any fillings you like, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.
  • Make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • Use refrigerated dough for convenience or homemade dough for a fresher taste.
  • Brush with butter before baking to achieve a golden, flavorful crust.
  • These pockets can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for a crispy texture.
