3/4 cup (180 ml) pizza sauce
1/2 orange bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
2 teaspoons (10 ml) dried Italian herbs
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.
