Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup low-sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces low-sodium turkey pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup no-salt-added tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder.
Add the olive oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, mixing until a dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 8 equal-sized squares.
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded low-sodium mozzarella, turkey pepperoni slices, and tomato sauce together. Season with oregano, basil, and garlic powder.
Place a spoonful of the cheese and pepperoni mixture onto the center of each dough square.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal them.
Transfer the pizza pockets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the pizza pockets with the beaten egg to ensure a golden finish when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the pizza pockets to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low sodium cheesy pepperoni pizza pockets!
