Homemade Pizza Pockets

These make for a quick and easy dinner, a great packed lunch idea, or works perfect for family movie or game night!

I am not sure what is going on with me lately, but I am an emotional basket case. Normally I would blame shark week (my uninvited monthly visitor) but even without it I am a hot mess. I’ve been this way for a while and I wish it would stop.

I love kids! I would have a whole tribe of them if I could, but I can’t.

Time will always pass quickly, there isn’t a thing I can do about that. I just need to figure out a way to accept that fact! Any advice from seasoned Mother’s would be greatly appreciated!

What You Need to Make Homemade Pizza Pockets

Pillsbury Pizza Crust

Pizza Sauce

Mozzarella Cheese

Cheddar Cheese

Oil

Oregano

How to Make Homemade Pizza Pockets

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Open the tube of Pillsbury Pizza Crust and unroll it flat onto a sheet of parchment paper lined baking sheet. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 6 pieces.

Separate the 6 pieces and gently stretch them out a little.

Add about 1 tbsp of pizza sauce, a pinch of mozzarella cheese, and a pinch of cheddar cheese to the corner half of each square.

Fold over each square to make triangular pizza pockets. Seal the edges with a fork.

Brush the top of each triangle with a small amount of oil. Sprinkle some dried oregano on top then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Tips for Making and Serving Homemade Pizza Pockets

You don’t have to use pizza sauce, any pasta sauce will work.

I haven’t tried homemade pizza dough, but I am sure it would work just the same!

Don’t overfill the Pizza Pockets, you will have a mess! You can dunk in additional pizza sauce after they are baked.

Make sure not to fill right up to the edge of the dough – save room to seal them with a fork.

You can add any additional filling that you would like – veggies, vegetarian meat, etc.!
