- 13.8 oz refrigerated pizza crust (1 tube)
- 6 tablespoons pasta sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (or 6 mozzarella cheese sticks cut into small pieces)
- 12 slices pepperoni
- olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Cut the pizza crust into 6 squares. Spoon 1 tablespoon of pasta sauce into the center of each square of dough, then top with some of the mozzarella cheese (or cheese sticks that have been cut into small chunks – 1 cheese stick per pocket) and 2 pepperoni slices per square.
- Fold over each square to make rectangular pizza pockets and pinch the edges together to close. If desired, shape the rectangle into a half circle, or leave as rectangle.
- Seal the edges with a fork and place on a large baking sheet.
- Brush the top of each pizza pocket with some olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning or dried oregano over top of the dough.
- Bake at 425F for 10-13 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
