Homemade Pizza Pockets
I’ve literally just wiped the crumbs off my face from devouring the last one of these. Pizza pockets are about to be your new food obsession. Here’s why:
Puff Pastry – No faffing around making pizza dough, pre-rolled puff pastry works absolute wonders for pizza pockets. Minimal Ingredients – If you’ve got Pizza Sauce, Cheese and Puff Pastry you’re already quids in! Delicious – So bloomin’ delicious!!!
The other thing is that they’re so easy to make. I know it’s tempting to pick up a pack of store-bought pizza pockets, but I promise you these are 10x more tasty. Pizza pockets are perfect for an after-school snack, a lazy lunch or even as a dinner with some sides!
Pepperoni Pizza Pockets
To be honest you can really load up these pizza pockets with any toppings you fancy, but for me it’s always gotta be jalapeño and pepperoni! There’s something about jalapeño and pepperoni that sends me weak at the knees
Puff Pastry Pizza Pockets
As I mentioned earlier, the ease of these pizza pockets comes down to the puff pastry. PLUS I actually really like the crispy texture it offers. I always use pre-rolled puff pastry, in the UK this usually comes in the form of a 14″x9″ (35.5cmx22cm) rectangle. If you’re rolling out your pastry just make sure you roll it out to those measurements.

Right, pockets folded, let’s get ’em ready to bake. Just to take these pizza pockets through the roof, I love sprinkling parmesan and oregano on top before they bake. This not only adds extra flavours but makes them turn deep golden and EXTRA crispy!

Serving Pizza Pockets
And there we have it! Homemade pizza pockets truly couldn’t be easier! From there I usually serve with a dip – Cheese and Chive, Garlic and Herb Dip and Sour Cream and Chive are all personal faves
Can you prepare pizza pockets in advance?
You can yes, I just recommend putting the pizza sauce on top of the cheese just to reduce the bottom part going soggy. Just cover airtight in the fridge until needed. Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full pizza pockets recipe shall we?!
