Create quick, cheesy homemade pizza pockets for a fun and customizable family meal. This easy recipe uses refrigerated pizza crust for a speedy preparation, perfect for busy weeknights or a delightful snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package Refrigerated Classic Pizza Crust
  • 1 cup Pizza Sauce
  • 2 cups Borden Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 cup Pepperoni Slices
  • 1/2 cup Sliced Black Olives
  • 1 cup Borden Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 cup Chopped Broccoli
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare baking trays by greasing them lightly or lining with parchment paper.
  2. Divide the refrigerated classic pizza crust into two equal parts and roll each into a circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
  3. On one half of each dough circle, spread a layer of pizza sauce, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, layer with pepperoni and olives.
  4. For a veggie pocket, brush the other half of the dough with olive oil, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and layer with broccoli and cheddar.
  5. Fold the dough over the filling, pinch the edges to seal, and crimp with a fork or fingers.
  6. Place the pizza pockets on prepared trays and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm with dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Consider gluten-free or whole wheat options for nutrient boosts.
  • Try marinara or barbecue sauce for a delightful twist.
  • Substitute with plant-based cheese for a vegan alternative.
  • Switch to turkey pepperoni or skip for a vegetarian variant.
  • Substitute bell peppers for crunch or leave out olives if preferred.
  • Try gouda or feta cheese for something different.
  • Spinach or kale can work nicely as substitutes for broccoli.
  • Use cooking spray for a lighter touch with olive oil.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or oregano add a fresh burst of flavor.
  • Keep dough thickness consistent.
  • Ensure pockets are well-sealed to prevent leaks.
  • Do not overfill pockets.
  • Brush tops with a beaten egg before baking for extra shine.
  • Experiment with different fillings and spices.
  • Assemble up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate uncooked.
  • Bake frozen pizza pockets from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to baking time.
