Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (or other toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, sausage, etc.)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
- Parmesan cheese (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so your pockets won’t stick.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, unroll your crescent roll or pizza dough. If you’re using crescent rolls, separate them into triangles. Using pizza dough? Just cut it into 8 even rectangles.
- Add the Filling: Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each piece of dough. Top with shredded mozzarella and your favorite toppings (pepperoni is always a crowd-pleaser).
- Season and Fold: Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder and Italian seasoning over each one. Fold the dough over to enclose the filling and press the edges closed with a fork.
- Brush and Top: Brush each pocket with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle some Parmesan on top to add a little extra flavor and crunch.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Pop them in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and bubbly.
- Cool & Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Optional: serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
