Ingredients

• 1 package Refrigerated pizza dough
• 100 grams Vegetarian pepperoni slices
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup 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 flour a clean surface and roll out the refrigerated pizza dough to a 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 3

Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles from the dough, aiming for about 4 inches in diameter. You should get approximately 8 circles.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the pizza sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Stir well to mix the spices into the sauce.

Step 5

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the seasoned pizza sauce onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edge.

Step 6

Place 3-4 slices of vegetarian pepperoni over the sauce, followed by roughly 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Fold the dough circle in half over the filling, forming a semi-circle, and press down the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring they are tightly sealed to prevent any leakage.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the sealed pizza pockets with olive oil, which will help them brown nicely.

Step 9

Place the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your vegetarian cheesy pepperoni pizza pockets!
