Description
Delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal that promises a crispy outside with a warm, gooey, and cheesy interior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll dough)
- ½ cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup mini pepperoni or cooked sausage (optional)
- ¼ cup chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives (optional)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Dried oregano or garlic powder, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza or crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 4×4 inch pieces.
- Spread marinara sauce, sprinkle cheeses, and add toppings on each dough piece.
- Fold the dough to create pockets and seal edges with a fork.
- Brush pockets with egg and garnish with herbs; bake for 12–15 minutes.
- Let cool slightly before serving with additional sauce for dipping.
Notes
Ensure the dough is sealed properly to prevent leaks during baking. A thicker sauce will help avoid making the pockets soggy.
