Ingredients

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry
  • 1/4 cup Dorothy Lynch Salad Dressing & Condiment + more for dipping!
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella/Parmesan Shredded Cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • herbed garlic salt optional

Instructions

  • Roll defrosted puff pastry sheet out onto a flat surface. Roll into a rectangle that is 14x10".
  • Cut in half horizontally, then into fourths vertically, so you have eight even sections of pastry.
  • Mix together in a bowl the Dorothy Lynch and the marinara sauce. Place 1/2 Tablespoon of sauce on the bottom have of each section.
  • Divide pepperoni pieces into eighths, and place on top of the sauce.
  • Divide the cheese into eighths and place it on top of the pepperoni.
  • Whisk the egg, Italian seasoning and water together to make an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, brush egg wash around the seams on the inside of all four sides of each section.
  • Gently fold the top over to meet the bottom to form your pockets. Using the backside of the tines of a fork, press the edges together so they seal tightly. Poke holes with the tines of the fork into the top of the pocket.
  • Place the pockets on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Brush the top of each pocket with the egg wash. Discard egg wash. Place pockets in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. (Cooling them helps the puff pastry puff better)
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place pizza pockets in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Serve warm with more Dorothy Lynch for dipping!

Notes

To Prepare in an Air Fryer:
Spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick cooking spray. Place pizza pockets in the basket in a single layer, not touching one another. Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 minutes.
