Perfect for quick dinners, game days, or anytime cravings, these portable pizza pockets offer the classic pizza flavors in a fast and fun form that’s kid-friendly and easily customizable.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough to roll out into a large rectangle
  • Pepperoni slices – about 20-25 slices
  • Mozzarella cheese (shredded or sliced) – 1 to 1½ cups
  • Marinara sauce – ½ cup
  • Olive oil – 1-2 tablespoons, for brushing
  • Italian seasoning – 1 teaspoon
  • Parmesan cheese (optional) – 2 tablespoons, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into an even, thin rectangle about ¼ inch thick to ensure even baking.
  2. Add the fillings: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border to seal. Layer pepperoni slices over the sauce, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top without overfilling to prevent leaks.
  3. Roll and cut: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one edge to the other creating a log. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1½-inch thick slices to form individual pizza bombs.
  4. Arrange and season: Place the pizza bombs cut-side up on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle Italian seasoning and optional parmesan cheese for added flavor.
  5. Bake to perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes or until the dough is golden and cooked through and the cheese inside is bubbly and melted. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use cold pizza dough for easier rolling and slicing.
  • Don’t overfill the bombs to avoid leaking during baking.
  • Seal the edges firmly by pinching the dough to keep fillings inside.
  • Rotate the baking pan halfway through baking for even browning.
  • Serve warm for the best melty and cheesy experience.
