Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, solid
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup vegan pepperoni slices
• 1 cup dairy-free mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add solid coconut oil to the flour mixture. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 1 minute. Roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 6

Cut out circles using a 4-inch cookie cutter or a similar-sized round object.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Step 8

Place a small spoonful of the tomato sauce mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Step 9

Add 2-3 slices of vegan pepperoni and a generous sprinkle of dairy-free mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.

Step 10

Fold the dough over to form a semi-circle and press the edges with a fork to seal the pockets.

Step 11

Arrange the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the pizza pockets with olive oil for a golden finish.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pockets are golden brown.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free cheesy pepperoni pizza pockets!
