Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) crescent roll dough I like to use the Crescent Dough Sheet, which doesn’t have any perforations, Pillsbury brand, refrigerated tube sheet
- ¼ cup marinara sauce divided
- ½ cup italian blend cheese or sub with shredded mozzarella, divided
- Parmesan Cheese grated, for dusting
- Italian seasoning grated, for dusting
- pepperoni optional additional ingredients, sliced pepperoni; sauteed mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers; browned Italian sausage; or any other pizza toppings of your choice
- mushrooms
- onion
- bell pepper
- Italian sausage
- marinara sauce for dipping, warm
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Unroll the dough sheet onto a large cutting board or lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 4 rectangles (about 6 x 4-inches each).
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce on one half of each rectangle. Top with about 2-3 tablespoons of cheese and any other pizza toppings of choice.
- Fold the dough over the fillings, pinching and sealing the edges of each pocket with fork.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and a pinch of Italian seasoning on the top of each rectangle. Use a paring knife to cut small slits in the top of each pocket to allow the steam to vent.
- Arrange the pockets on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, until puffy and golden brown. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- Delicious extras to add to your pizza pockets: pepperoni slices, cooked Italian sausage, sliced chicken, chopped ham, bbq chicken, bbq sauce, pineapple, olives, and sautéed vegetables such as green pepper, onions, and mushrooms.
- Prepare vegetarian pizza hot pockets by omitting the pepperoni, sausage, and other meats. Stuff plenty of sautéed veggies into the pockets so that they're satisfying and flavorful, or keep it simple with just cheese.
- The Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on top is just an optional finishing touch. Feel free to omit these ingredients if you like.
- Use plain shredded mozzarella cheese if you don't have the Italian blend cheese.
- Look for a tube of Pillsbury Crescent Dough “Sheet,” which is just like the crescent rolls, but without the perforations. That way you can just unroll the dough and cut it into rectangles.
- If using crescent roll dough instead of the crescent dough sheet, make sure to press and seal together the perforations before using the dough.
- Cut small slits in the top of each pocket to allow the steam to vent in the oven.
- This recipe yields just 4 hot pockets. If you're serving a larger family, double or triple the ingredients. The rest of the cooking instructions remain the same.
- Try cooking with kids! This is an easy way to let your little ones help in the kitchen. Allow the children to assemble their own pizza pockets by adding the toppings of their choice.
