Go to the recipeIngredients
- About 1/4 lb (125 g) of Roma mild pepperoni or cooked sliced sausages
- About 1 1/3 lb (600 g) pizza dough
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) pizza sauce
- 1/2 orange bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup (250 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) dried Italian herbs
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (205 °C).
- Divide pizza dough into eight parts, then roll them into balls. On a work surface, stretch the dough balls into circles of about 6″ (15 cm) in diameter.
- In a bowl, mix pizza sauce, pepperoni, bell pepper, onion, mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Divide mixture between four of the dough circles. Cover with the remaining circles and seal the edges with a fork.
- Place the pizza pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with oil, then sprinkle with Italian herbs.
- Cook in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
Bonus
- Customize your pizza pockets to your taste: add roasted vegetables, fresh herbs or even a dash of chili flakes for a spicier touch.
- For an extra-stretchy result, add some fresh mozzarella to the filling.
- Serve with a crunchy salad or a homemade dip for a truly comforting meal.
