Pizza Pocket Recipe

Pizza pockets are a fun meal to make when you have smaller appetites to feed.

These hand-held pizzas are also easy to prepare in advance and pop in the oven once the kids come home from school, or before you are having people over to watch the game.

Making pizza pockets at home is more daunting than simply purchasing similar products in the freezer section of your local grocer, but I enjoy the fact that I can control the ingredients list and customize each pocket.

There was one important tool that I used during the creation of the pizza pockets, the Pampered Chef Cut-N-Seal. This product is fantastic at cutting the dough for the pockets and sealing them up.

CutNSeal

In the first step of this recipe you will roll out your dough and then use the Cut-N-Seal tool to create the round shape.

To do this, you simply press down on the outsides of the device (not the knob on top – when you press that, it will create the seal).

Filling

Fill up your pizza pockets with yummy ingredients (sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese shown here) and then add another layer on top and press down with the Cut-N-Seal tool to seal up your pocket.

Description

The perfect dinner idea when everyone loves a different kind of pizza.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (8 oz) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheet
  • 1 Jar Pizza Sauce
  • 1 Package Pepperoni Slices
  • 1 Bag Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Flour to dust your surface if you roll out the dough
  • Butter to brush lightly over top

Instructions

  1. Preheat over to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Open the crescent roll cans and lay out flat on a surface. I put a little flour on my surface and used a rolling pin to roll them out pretty thin. Note: Don’t use too much flour, just enough so that they won’t stick.
  3. Using the Cut-N-Seal tool (or a large, round cookie cutter) cut out circles in the dough.
  4. On half of the circles, add one tsp pizza sauce and spread not quite to the edges. Then add a few pepperoni slices, and mozzarella cheese. Exactly amounts aren’t important, as you will be making these to suit your tastes. Watch how full you fill these because you don’t want the sauce to squeeze out the side when you create the pocket. (See Notes for more suggestions)
  5. Cover the pizza with an empty dough circle and stretch a bit so that the edges meet.
  6. Using your Cut-N-Seal (or a fork if you used a cookie cutter above) press the edges together.
  7. Bake at 350 until the dough is light brown and flaky, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  8. Lightly brush tops of pockets with butter for taste (optional).

Notes

Tip: You can add any pizza topping you like: mushrooms, onions, cooked sausage, olives, etc)

The next time that I make these, I believe that I will try to cut the top piece of dough a bit larger than the bottom, to accommodate for more ingredients to be added to the pocket.

      Ronda,
      I have not made them ahead of time to put in the freezer so I am unsure about that. Sorry I don’t have a good answer for you.

        I am keeping these all the time. I cook them according to the recipe then freeze them. My husband takes them to work and just microwaves them. They are convenient for him and he loves them.
