Delicious homemade pizza pockets filled with your favorite ingredients, perfect for a quick meal or snack.
In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.
Add the olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Resting allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Use a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
Spread a small amount of tomato sauce on half of each circle, leaving the edges clear. Add cheese, pepperoni, and mushrooms on top.
Don't overfill to ensure the pockets seal properly.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a semicircle. Press the edges together and seal with a fork. Poke a few small holes on top for steam to escape.
Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent leaks during baking.
Place the pockets on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
For an extra golden crust, brush the tops with a little olive oil before baking.
Let the pizza pockets cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
