  • Author: Chef
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 package (1 lb) of refrigerated pizza dough
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup ricotta cheese
– ½ cup chopped pepperoni (or other toppings)
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Now that you have gathered your ingredients, let’s dive into creating your Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about ¼-inch thin. Cut it into 4-6 equal squares.
3. Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, chopped pepperoni, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
4. Fill Pockets: Place a generous spoonful of the cheese and topping mixture in the center of each dough square. Be careful not to overfill.
5. Seal and Bake: Fold the dough over to create a pocket shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, then brush the tops with beaten egg. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
