Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- Your choice of toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, etc.)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the olive oil and mix until crumbly. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles of dough using a round cutter.
- Lay out the dough circles and add a spoonful of pizza sauce in the center. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and preferred toppings. Fold the dough to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges with a fork.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the stuffed pizza pockets. Brush the tops with a beaten egg. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Rest the dough for easier rolling.
- Experiment with different fillings for variety.
- Seal edges well to prevent leaks during baking.
