Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Pizza Pockets
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your baking sheets with olive oil or line them with parchment paper.
  2. On a floured surface, divide the pizza dough into two parts and roll each into a circle about 6-8 inches in diameter.
  3. Place two dough circles onto each baking sheet, spaced a few inches apart.
  4. Scoop your chosen filling onto one half of each dough circle, ensuring not to overfill.
  5. Fold the other half over and press the edges to seal; crimp with a fork for extra security.
  6. Optional: Brush with olive oil before baking. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Let them cool slightly before serving with marinara sauce for dipping.
