Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef
  • Total Time: 11 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 3/4 cup water (adjust as necessary)
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup pizza sauce
– 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni or your choice of toppings
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
– 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)


Instructions

Creating Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets is a breeze when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Make the Dough: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Gradually add olive oil and water until a soft dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.
3. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
4. Cut the Dough: Use a large round cutter or a bowl to cut out circles of dough (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
5. Add Fillings: Place a spoonful of pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and add desired toppings.
6. Seal the Pockets: Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal, using a fork to crimp if desired.
7. Prepare for Baking: Place the filled pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Cool Slightly: Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve: Enjoy them warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping!
