Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, solid
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup vegan pepperoni slices
- 1 cup dairy-free mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add solid coconut oil to the flour mixture. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 1 minute. Roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut out circles using a 4-inch cookie cutter or a similar-sized round object.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Place a small spoonful of the tomato sauce mixture in the center of each dough circle.
Add 2-3 slices of vegan pepperoni and a generous sprinkle of dairy-free mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
Fold the dough over to form a semi-circle and press the edges with a fork to seal the pockets.
Arrange the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the pizza pockets with olive oil for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pockets are golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free cheesy pepperoni pizza pockets!
