Ingredients
Dough
1 tube refrigerated pizza crust
Filling
6 tablespoons pasta or marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
12 slices pepperoni
Garnish
Dried oregano (optional)
Olive oil (for brushing, optional)
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare Dough:
Unroll the refrigerated pizza crust on a floured surface or directly onto parchment paper. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut into 6 equal squares.
Assemble Pizza Pockets:
On one half of each square, add 1 tablespoon marinara sauce, a generous sprinkle of mozzarella, and 2 pepperoni slices.
Seal:
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together with a fork to seal completely.
Top & Bake:
Optional: Brush tops with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano or a bit more cheese.
Transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 10–13 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Cool & Serve:
Let the pizza pockets cool slightly before serving. Serve with extra marinara or ranch for dipping.
Notes
Substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage, mushrooms, or spinach for variation.
These freeze well — bake, cool completely, and freeze in a zip-top bag. Reheat at 375°F for 8–10 minutes.
Great for meal prepping kids’ lunches or game-day snacks.
