- 1egg
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Place the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Roll the crust out into a 12-inch circle.
-
Use a 4-inch cookie cutter to cut out 6 of your desired shapes. Transfer the shapes to a sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
-
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the 6 crust shapes. Top with slices of pepperoni to cover, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the egg along the border of the dough.
-
Gather the dough scraps and re-roll the dough to a similar thickness. Cut out 6 more of your shapes. Lay the shapes on top of the pepperoni layer. Use a fork to crimp the edges shut.
-
For a standard pizza pocket, use a paring knife to cut a few lines in the top. For a jack-o-lantern, use a paring knife to carefully cut out eyes and a mouth.
-
Brush the tops of the pizza pockets with the egg wash. The pockets can be baked immediately or covered loosely with plastic wrap and stored in the fridge.
-
Bake the pizza pockets for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately with a marinara sauce for dipping.
