Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Filling

  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 can of pizza dough or crescent rolls, refrigerated
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni or any toppings you like—mushrooms, sausage, or diced peppers

Seasonings and Toppings

  • A quarter teaspoon of Italian herbs
  • A light sprinkle of powdered garlic
  • Melted butter or olive oil, to brush on top
  • Some grated Parmesan for finishing

Instructions

  1. Step 01 Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment or baking paper.
  2. Step 02 Spread the dough on a floured counter. If it’s crescent rolls, break it apart into triangles. For pizza dough, slice it into 8 small rectangles.
  3. Step 03 Smear a thin layer of marinara sauce on each piece of dough. Add some shredded mozzarella and scatter a couple of pepperoni slices or other toppings over it.
  4. Step 04 Sprinkle on some garlic and Italian seasoning. Fold each dough piece to make a pocket, then firmly press the edges together using a fork.
  5. Step 05 Lightly coat the top of each pocket with butter or oil using a pastry brush. Toss a bit of Parmesan on each one. Bake them for 12–15 minutes until they’re golden and bubbling.
  6. Step 06 Let the pockets cool off just a little. They’re great with extra marinara for dipping if you like!
