Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza crust

Filling:

  • 6 tablespoons pasta or marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • About 12 slices of pepperoni
  • Dried oregano, for optional garnish
  • Olive oil, for optional brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto the parchment or a lightly floured surface. Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 6 equal squares.
  3. Add the Filling: On one half of each dough square:
    • Spoon 1 tablespoon of pasta sauce
    • Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella
    • Top with 2 slices of pepperoni
  4. Seal the Pockets: Fold each square diagonally into a triangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal the filling inside.
  5. Optional Garnish: For extra flavor and a golden crust:
    • Lightly brush the tops with olive oil
    • Sprinkle with dried oregano and a little extra mozzarella
  6. Bake: Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the pizza pockets are puffed and golden brown, and the cheese inside is bubbling.
  7. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Pair with warm pasta sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
