Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425F.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Seal the edges with a fork and place on a large baking sheet.

Step 5

Brush the top of each pizza pocket with some olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning or dried oregano over top of the dough.

Step 6

Bake at 425F for 10-13 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
