Cheesy Pizza Pocket Snack (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Topping and Finish
01 -
Extra shredded mozzarella for sprinkling (optional)
02 -
Dried oregano to pop some flavor (optional)
03 -
Brush of olive oil if you want (optional)
→ Filling
04 -
12 pepperoni slices
05 -
Shredded mozzarella, about 1 cup
06 -
6 tablespoons of your favorite marinara or pasta sauce
→ Dough
07 -
1 can store-bought pizza dough
# Instructions:
01 -
Let these cool a little. They're hot! Dip 'em in ranch or warm pasta sauce if you're into that.
02 -
Slide the pan in the oven. Bake them for around 10 to 13 minutes, till the outside is golden brown and the cheese inside is gooey.
03 -
Brush with a little olive oil if you feel like it, then toss on some dried oregano and a bit more mozzarella up top for extra yum.
04 -
Fold corners across to make a triangle shape. Press the edges with a fork so the filling stays put.
05 -
Spoon about a tablespoon of sauce onto one side of each dough square. Sprinkle on mozzarella and toss in a couple pepperoni slices.
06 -
Lay your pizza dough flat—use a floured surface or put it right on that parchment paper. Cut into 6 squares with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
07 -
Turn your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lay out some parchment paper on a baking sheet so you won't have to scrub it after.
# Notes:
01 -
Go easy on the filling, or it'll leak out while baking.
02 -
If you want to skip the pepperoni, toss in some sautéed veggies instead—totally works.
03 -
Give the pockets a few minutes to cool; they get crispier and you won't burn your mouth on melty cheese.
