  • Author: Ava Reynolds
  • Total Time: 47 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– ½ cup cold water
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup diced pepperoni (or your choice of fillings)
– ½ cup pizza sauce (for dipping)
– Optional spices: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor


Instructions

Creating Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps to ensure delicious results:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in cold water gradually until a dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat while you prepare the fillings.
4. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each piece into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
5. Add the Fillings: Place a handful of mozzarella cheese and diced pepperoni on one half of each dough circle. Be careful not to overfill.
6. Seal the Pockets: Fold the other half of the dough over the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
7. Bake the Pockets: Place the prepared pizza pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
9. Serve with Dipping Sauce: Warm the pizza sauce for dipping as a side.

With these steps, you will create delicious Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets that everyone will love. The process is simple yet rewarding, making these pockets a staple in your kitchen!
