In this article, we will guide you through the process of making pizza pockets, so you can enjoy this delightful snack whenever you want.
Ingredients:
Before you start making pizza pockets, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 package of pre-made pizza dough
– 1 cup of pizza sauce
– 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup of pepperoni slices
– 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers
– 1/2 cup of sliced onions
– 1/2 cup of mushrooms
– 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
– Olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough. Repeat this process until you have enough circles to make your desired number of pizza pockets.
3. In a small bowl, mix the pizza sauce with a tablespoon of olive oil and set it aside.
4. Place a spoonful of pizza sauce on the center of each dough circle. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and Parmesan cheese on top of the sauce.
5. Fold the dough circle in half to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to prick a few holes on the top of each pocket to allow steam to escape during baking.
6. Brush the tops of the pizza pockets with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Place the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Once done, remove the pizza pockets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade pizza pockets as a delicious snack or appetizer!
