Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough or crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup pepperoni slices (or cooked sausage, ham, or veggies)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough and cut into 8 even squares or rectangles.
- Spoon a little pizza sauce into the center of each piece, then top with mozzarella and pepperoni.
- Fold the dough over to form a pocket and press the edges with a fork to seal.
- Place on baking sheet, brush tops with olive oil or butter, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or Parmesan if using.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Cool slightly before serving—filling will be very hot.
Notes
- Switch up the filling with mushrooms, peppers, olives, or spinach for variety.
- Puff pastry works great for a flakier version.
- Air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes as an alternative to baking.
- Brush with garlic butter when they come out of the oven for extra flavor.
