Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle or circle about ¼-inch thick.
Cut dough into 6–8 equal squares.
3. Assemble the pockets
Spread a small spoonful of pizza sauce in the center of each square.
Add mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and any other fillings.
Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
4. Seal the pockets
Fold each dough square over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle.
Press the edges with a fork to seal completely.
Brush each pocket with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Optional: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
5. Bake
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until pockets are golden brown and cheese is melted inside.
6. Serve
Let cool slightly before serving to avoid hot cheese burns.
Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping. 🍅
💡 Tips
For extra flavor, add garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil to the filling.
These pockets can be made ahead and frozen — just bake directly from frozen with a few extra minutes.
Experiment with different cheeses and fillings for variety.
