Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 0.5 cup Cold water
• 1 cup Vegetarian pepperoni slices
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the cold water to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. You may not need all the water; use just enough to bind the mixture into a dough.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough chills, mix the shredded mozzarella cheese, vegetarian pepperoni slices, marinara sauce, and dried oregano in a bowl.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on the floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 8

Cut the dough into 8 equal rectangles. Place a spoonful of the pepperoni and cheese mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 9

Fold the dough over the filling to form pockets and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.

Step 10

Place the hot pockets onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
