Homemade Pizza Pockets Recipe

If you're after a quick and delicious snack, these homemade pizza pockets are simply irresistible. Perfect for lunchboxes or a cosy evening in, they’re easy to make and even easier to enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 1 packet of ready-made puff pastry
• 200g mozzarella cheese, grated
• 100g pepperoni slices (or your choice of toppings)
• 1 small jar of pizza sauce
• 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• Dried oregano and basil, to taste
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (or 180°C for fan ovens) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into squares, roughly 10cm x 10cm.

3. On one half of each square, spread a spoonful of pizza sauce, leaving a little border around the edge. Sprinkle with grated mozzarella, add the pepperoni slices, and season with dried herbs, salt, and pepper.

4. Fold the pastry over to create a triangle shape and press the edges together firmly. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish and to ensure they stay sealed during baking.

5. Brush the tops of the pockets with the beaten egg to give them a lovely golden colour.

6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.

Serve your pizza pockets warm, perhaps with a side of extra pizza sauce for dipping. They’re bound to be a hit with everyone! Enjoy your tasty creation!
