Simple Homemade Pizza Pockets
Savory and satisfying, these homemade pizza pockets feature a flavorful blend of spicy sausage and gooey mozzarella cheese, folded in a flaky dough and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 can sheet dough or pizza dough
- ¼ cup spicy Italian ground sausage
- 1 cup pizza sauce + more for dippng
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cook and crumble the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (Optional: use a food processor to chop the sausage further to achieve a smoother filling.)
- Stir the cooked sausage together with the pizza sauce.
- Spread the sheet dough out on a cutting board. Cut it into 12 rectangles.
- Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each rectangle and top it with about a tablespoon of cheese. Fold the dough in half, creating a pocket, and pinch the edges together.
