Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 20 pieces Turkey pepperoni, sliced
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 Egg white
- 2 tablespoons Flour for dusting
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Cut the rolled-out dough into 8 equal squares using a knife or pizza cutter.
In a small bowl, mix the pizza sauce with the garlic powder and dried oregano.
Place about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto the center of each dough square.
Add approximately 2-3 turkey pepperoni slices on top of the sauce, then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Fold each dough square over the filling to form a triangle, pinching the edges tightly to seal them. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a secure seal.
Beat the egg white lightly, then brush it over the top of each pizza pocket for a golden finish.
Place the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza pockets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
