Unroll the crescent dough on the prepared baking sheet. Gently separate the dough into 4 rectangles. Use your fingers to press each rectangle into a 6x4-inch shape, being sure to firmly seal the perforations to prevent filling from escaping. (7 minutes)

Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over half of each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. (3 minutes)

Sprinkle each sauced rectangle with 3 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese, followed by 6 slices of pepperoni, overlapping slightly. (4 minutes)

Carefully fold the dough diagonally over the filling to form a triangle. Firmly press the edges together with a fork to create a tight seal. This is crucial to keep the filling inside! (5 minutes)

Optional: Brush the top of each pocket with the beaten egg for a beautiful, glossy finish. Sprinkle each triangle with 1/4 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese. (3 minutes)

Using the tines of a fork, gently prick the top of each pocket 2-3 times to allow steam to escape during baking. This prevents the pockets from bursting. (2 minutes)

15 mins
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the pockets are a deep, golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (15 minutes)
09 Step

5 mins
Let the pockets cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy! (5 minutes)
For a vegetarian option, substitute the pepperoni with sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pizza sauce for a spicy kick.
Experiment with different cheeses, such as provolone, cheddar, or a blend of Italian cheeses.
Make sure to seal the edges of the pockets very well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking. If you find the dough is tearing, lightly dampen the edges with water before sealing.
These pockets are best served warm, but they can also be reheated in the oven or microwave.

Oct 14, 2023My pockets burst in the oven. I think I didn't seal them well enough. Next time I'll be more careful.
