Ingredients

• 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
• 0.5 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup sliced pepperoni
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Using a large glass or a cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles about 4-5 inches in diameter.

Step 4

Place approximately 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle.

Step 5

Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each circle.

Step 6

Add 3-4 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese for each pocket.

Step 7

Fold the dough over to create a semi-circle and press the edges with a fork to seal them tightly.

Step 8

Transfer the pockets to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the pizza pockets with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Step 10

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

Step 11

While baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan or a microwave-safe bowl, and stir in the garlic powder.

Step 12

Once baked, remove the pizza pockets from the oven and brush them with the garlic butter.

Step 13

Allow the pockets to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth with the delicious fillings inside.
