Cheesy Pocket Snack (Print-Friendly Version)
Golden dough wraps up gooey mozzarella, pepperoni, and zesty sauce for a melty, crunchy snack everyone digs.
# Ingredients List:
→ Dough
01 -
1 can of premade pizza dough
→ Filling
02 -
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
03 -
6 tbsp marinara or pasta sauce
04 -
12 pieces of pepperoni
→ Topping and Finish
05 -
Extra mozzarella for sprinkling (if you like)
06 -
A little dried oregano to top (if you want)
07 -
Olive oil for brushing (totally optional)
# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Let 'em sit a couple minutes, then dig in. Grab some ranch or warmed up pasta sauce for dunking if you want.
02 -
Slide the baking sheet in and bake for 10 to 13 minutes. You want them golden and the cheese really melty inside.
03 -
Brush a bit of olive oil over the tops if you feel fancy. Toss on dried oregano and a pinch more cheese if it sounds good.
04 -
Flip one corner of each square over to the opposite corner so you get a triangle. Squeeze the edges together with a fork so nothing leaks out.
05 -
Spoon some sauce on half of every dough square. Add mozzarella next, then drop on a couple pepperoni slices.
06 -
Roll out your dough right on the parchment-covered baking tray or a floured countertop. Cut it up into six same-sized squares.
07 -
Crank the oven up to 425°F (220°C). Lay some parchment on a tray to make cleanup quick.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
If you put in too much filling, the cheese might ooze out when baking.
02 -
Going meat-free? Ditch the pepperoni for cooked veggies if you want.
03 -
Let pockets rest a few minutes after baking so the cheese isn't lava hot and the outside crisps up.
