Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Vegetarian pepperoni slices
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. You may not need all the water; use just enough to bind the mixture into a dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
While the dough chills, mix the shredded mozzarella cheese, vegetarian pepperoni slices, marinara sauce, and dried oregano in a bowl.
Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on the floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 8 equal rectangles. Place a spoonful of the pepperoni and cheese mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a border around the edges.
Fold the dough over the filling to form pockets and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
Place the hot pockets onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
