Pizza Pockets

Pizza Dough:

Place the following ingredients, in order, into a bread machine (https://amzn.to/485BXY8) and set on the dough setting.

1 1/2 cups water

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp margarine

4 1/4 cup flour

2 tsp instant yeast (https://amzn.to/4f4Zwml)

Pizza Pockets:

pizza dough

pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)

pepperoni, chopped

mozzarella cheese, grated

1/4 tsp garlic powder (https://amzn.to/3A0lZ4X)

4 tbsp melted margarine

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Take one piece of dough and flatten in out into a circle. Place a spoonful of pizza sauce, some pepperoni, and some cheese in the center. Bring the sides up around the filling and pinch together. Repeat with each portion of dough.

Melt the margarine in a small bowl (https://amzn.to/3zJGRgU) and add the garlic powder. Roll each pizza pocket in the melted margarine and then place into a greased muffin tin. (https://amzn.to/4h5M2s0) Sprinkle a small amount of parmesan cheese on top. Bake for 20- 25 minutes until the dough is cooked through.

Enjoy, but remember they are hot inside, so let them cool for a bit once you take them out of the oven!!!

You can add black olives, diced onion, or finely diced pepper as well if you would like. It is better to slightly cook the onion and pepper first, so they are not still crunchy once the pockets are done.
