Why You’ll Love Pizza Pockets Recipe
This Pizza Pockets Recipe is a make-ahead dream that the kids will go nuts for. My recipe will make up to 12 pockets, which you can wrap up individually and pull out what you need for the kids’ lunch box or after school. These are also amazingly customizable, so everyone can have exactly what they love inside, and you can use up whatever veggie/cheese combo you have kicking around in the fridge. The options are endless, but the result is always a pillowy soft pizza with a 🧀 cheezy, gooey interior that’s stuffed with flavorful ingredients.
How to Prepare Pizza Pockets Recipe
🫒 Add a touch of oil to the counter so that the pizza dough doesn’t stick. 🌀 Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape about 1/8 inch thick and use a large cookie cutter to cut out 12 equal circles. (You can also divide the dough into 12 equal dough balls and just roll each one out that way instead). 🧑🍳 Take each pizza circle, lightly flour it and either stretch it out a bit or roll it out. 🧀 Using a box grater, shred your mozzarella cheese on to a dish. 🍅 Add the pizza sauce to the middle of each dough piece and sprinkle the cheese on top. 🖌️ Brush the edges lightly with water. Fold it over to one side and pinch it together with a fork. Repeat this step for all the pizza pockets. 🔪 Cut 2-3 slits with a knife on top of each pocket so that the steam can escape. 🥑 Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil spray, add the pizza pockets inside and spray them on top. ♨️ Air fry at 360F (182C) for 10 minutes. 😋 Once they are golden, let them cool a bit and enjoy!
