How To Prepare The Irresistible Pepperoni Pizza Pockets ?
Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
Unroll the pizza crust on parchment paper or a floured surface and cut it into 6 squares.
Spread about 1 Tbsp of pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese, and 2 pepperoni slices on half of each square.
Fold each square to form triangular pizza pockets and seal the edges with a fork.
Optionally, brush the top of each triangle with a small amount of oil, and sprinkle with dried oregano leaves and additional mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with extra pasta sauce for dipping.
Notes:
- You can substitute the pepperoni with cooked sausage, ham, or your favorite veggies for a different twist.
- If you’re short on time, pre-made marinara sauce works well as a dipping sauce.
