# Ingredients:
→ Dough and Fillings
01 -
1 can of refrigerated pizza or crescent dough
02 -
Half a cup of marinara sauce
03 -
1/2 cup of pepperoni or use your preferred toppings, like sausage, veggies, or mushrooms
04 -
A full cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
→ Flavor Boosters and Extra Toppings
05 -
A little grated Parmesan for sprinkling on top
06 -
Brush with either melted butter or olive oil
07 -
A bit of garlic powder
08 -
Small pinch of Italian blend herbs
# Steps:
01 -
Turn the oven on to 375°F (190°C) and get a baking tray ready by lining it with some parchment paper.
02 -
Spread your dough out onto a floured surface. For crescent rolls, separate them into triangles. If it's pizza dough, cut it into 8 smaller sections.
03 -
Spread a bit of marinara on every piece of dough. Sprinkle some mozzarella on top and add your favorite toppings like pepperoni or whatever you enjoy.
04 -
Season with garlic powder and Italian herbs. Fold the dough over the filling to make pockets, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to seal them shut.
05 -
Brush the tops of each pocket with a little butter or oil, then sprinkle Parmesan over them. Pop them in the oven for about 12–15 minutes or until they're golden brown and crisp.
06 -
Give the pockets a short time to cool off before eating. They pair perfectly with extra marinara dipping sauce if you like that!
