Pepperoni Pizza Pocket Recipes

HOMEMADE PEPPERONI PIZZA

Steps:

• For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
• For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
• Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)
• Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.
• For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.

HOMEMADE PIZZA POCKETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Spray two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray (or line with parchment paper.)
• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and garlic.
• In a separate larger bowl, combine flour, parmesan cheese, salt, baking powder and Italian seasoning.
• Using a fork or a pastry blender, begin cutting in the cubed butter into the flour mixture until no large clumps remain.
• Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture.
• Mix until dough comes together into a loose ball. Note: to make this easier, you could use an electric mixture with a dough attachment.
• Dump the dough ball onto a large, floured countertop.
• Knead the dough ten times (turning it over onto itself and turning 90 degrees each time). Add additional flour as necessary to keep it from sticking.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out dough to about ½-inch thickness.
• Take a 3-inch biscuit cutter (or similar size glass or bowl), cut out all the dough into circles.
• After cutting out the circles, press them down or roll them out some more to make them large enough to hold the all the fillings. Note: this dough does stretch pretty easily too which you may need to do to close it up over the fillings.
• Place the crust circles on prepared baking sheets.
• Spoon a tablespoon of pizza sauce onto the middle of the dough circles.
• Then add a tablespoon of shredded cheese, a slice of pepperoni and a tablespoon of crumbled sausage.
• Carefully fold the crust in half and press together the edges.
• Take a fork and go around the edges to make sure they seal closed. If necessary, add a bit of water to the seals with your finger to help them stay sealed.
• Bake at 450f degrees for 13-15 minutes until crust is lightly browned. Continue until all pizza pockets are made.
• Optional: Brush tops of warm pizza pockets with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley.

Fold in half, covering the filling, and then fold the outer edges up and crimp the edges with your fingers to seal. Place the pockets on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with the sauce on the side.
