Ingredients
1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup sliced pepperoni (optional)
1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle.
Cut dough into 6 equal rectangles.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Add pepperoni, bell peppers, and black olives, or any other preferred toppings.
Fold the dough over to cover the filling, pressing edges together firmly.
Use a fork to crimp the edges for a sealed pocket.
Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden crust.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, and garlic powder; brush over the pockets.
Transfer pockets to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Cool for 5 minutes before serving to avoid molten cheese burns.
