Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or melted butter (optional for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour to prevent sticking.
Take each piece of biscuit dough and gently roll it out into a 5-inch circle using a rolling pin.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto the center of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese onto the pizza sauce.
Add 2 slices of pepperoni (or any other toppings of your choice) on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly across all the filled dough circles.
Fold the dough in half to form a pocket, ensuring the edges align. Press the edges tightly with your fingers, then seal with a fork by pressing down along the edges.
Place the sealed pizza pockets onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Optional: Brush the tops of the pockets with olive oil or melted butter for a golden, crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pizza pockets are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your E Z Pizza Pockets warm!
