This is how to make Pizza pockets that taste better than the ones you can buy.

Ingredients

2015-08-28 06.38.06 HDR.jpg

You need:

A can of crescent dough. (It's fun and tasty to experiment with different flavors!)

A can of Pizza sauce.

A bag of Pizza cheese.

Toppings such as a bag of mini pepperonis.

A nonstick pan or a regular pan and cooking spray.

Roll Out Dough

Lay out the crescent dough as normal.

Add a Dab of Sauce

LESS SAUCE IS BETTER!

You will have a mess if you add too much sauce, you should be able to see the dough through the sauce.

Sprinkle Cheese

Again, less is more.

Add Toppings

Don't add too many, but don't hesitate to experiment.

Roll Them Up!

Roll the crescents up like you normally would but tuck in the ends.

Repeat

A Few More Examples.

Really you can roll them any how you want as long as you get them mostly covered.

Bake Them.

All ingredients except for the dough are precooked, so you only have to follow the instructions on the dough packaging. Since the dough does get stretched out, I suggest checking them early and not waiting for the maximum time.

ENJOY!!!
