  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– ¾ cup warm water
– 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup cheddar cheese (optional)
– ½ cup pepperoni slices or other preferred toppings
– ¼ cup pizza sauce (for dipping)
– 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)


Instructions

Making Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets is a fun and enjoyable process. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the olive oil and warm water. Stir until the mixture forms a dough.

3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.

4. Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes, allowing it to rise slightly.

5. Preheat Oven: While the dough rests, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

6. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each piece out into a circle, about ¼ inch thick.

7. Add Fillings: On one side of each circle, place a generous tablespoon of mozzarella cheese, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and your desired toppings.

8. Fold the Pizza Pockets: Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal.

9. Apply Egg Wash: (Optional) Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each pocket for a golden finish.

10. Bake: Place the pizza pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

11. Cool and Serve: Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Pair with pizza sauce for dipping.
