Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry dough I recommend Wewalka
- ¼ cup pizza or marinara sauce
- 1 package 6 ounces pepperoni slices
- 1 package sliced mozzarella
- egg wash 1 egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon of water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice puff pastry into 6 long strips.
- Spread 1 teaspoon marinara or pizza sauce at the end of each strip.
- Add 6 slices of pepperoni or other toppings on top of sauce.
- Place 2 slices of mozzarella on top of pepperoni.
- Fold the end of pastry that has no toppings over the other end to make a pocket.
- Press edges of pastry all the way around with the tines of a fork. Close tightly.
- Use fork to poke several holes in the top of each pocket.
- Brush tops of hot pockets with egg wash.
- Bake on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Be sure to purchase puff pastry in a sheet or roll. I recommend using Wewalka brand that rolls out on its own parchment paper.
- A little sauce may get on the pastry when closing with the tines of a fork. The sauce bakes off so you won't see it on the finished pocket.
- Some cheese may ooze out of pastry while cooking. No worries! Just trim it off and enjoy eating the excess after pastries have cooled.
- If you fill the pastries too full they will burst open during cooking.
