Follow these straightforward steps to create your Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil.

2. Roll Out Dough: Open the package of refrigerated pizza dough on a clean, floured surface. Roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness.

3. Cut Circles: Using a large round cutter or a bowl, cut out circles of dough (about 4-5 inches in diameter) to form the pizza pockets.

4. Add Filling: On half of each circle, place a small amount of pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and your preferred toppings. Be careful not to overfill!

5. Season: Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over the filling for added flavor.

6. Fold and Seal: Fold the dough over to form a pocket. Press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

7. Prepare for Baking: If desired, beat the egg and brush the top of each pocket for a glossy finish.
– Place the filled pockets on the prepared baking sheet and spray them lightly with olive oil.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the pizza pockets to cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before serving.

10. Serve: Serve with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
