Ingredients
- 2 rolls Premade pie crusts (refrigerated)
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts if needed to smooth their shape.
Step 3
Using a round cutter or a small bowl approximately 4-5 inches in diameter, cut out circles from the pie crust. Re-roll scraps to make more circles if necessary.
Step 4
Place a small spoonful of pizza sauce (about 1 teaspoon) in the center of each crust circle.
Step 5
Top the sauce with a small pinch of mozzarella cheese (about 1 tablespoon) and a slice of pepperoni. Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano or Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Step 6
Fold each circle in half to form a semi-circle and seal the edges by pressing them together with a fork. Be careful not to overfill.
Step 7
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Step 8
Brush the tops of the pizza pockets with the egg wash to promote browning and give a golden, shiny finish.
Step 9
Place the prepared pizza pockets onto the lined baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pie crusts are golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pizza pockets cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
