Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Brush for basting
  • small bowl

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
  • ¾ cup pizza sauce
  • 18 slices pepperoni
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Italian seasoning blend

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
  • Cut one of the puff pastry sheets into 6 rectangles of equal size.
  • Spoon the pizza sauce onto the center of each rectangle of puff pastry, being careful to keep the sauce away from the edges.
  • Place three pepperoni slices over the pizza sauce, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Brush water onto the edges of the puff pastry around the filling. This will help the top piece of pastry stick and seal the pocket closed.
  • Cut the remaining sheet of puff pastry into 6 rectangles of equal size. Place each one over top of the pieces of pastry with the filling. Press down around the edges to seal closed and form a pizza pocket. Use a fork to press down around the edges to ensure they are sealed well.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the egg wash over the whole top of the pizza pockets. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning blend.
  • Place the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake at 400F for 18-20 minutes until the pockets are puffed up and golden brown.
  • Cool slightly before serving.
