Ingredients
·
1 9-inch
pie crust homemade or store bought
·
1
1/4 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
·
1 cup pepperoni
slices I prefer turkey pepperoni
·
1 cup marinara
sauce
·
1 egg
Instructions
1.
Preheat
the oven to 350 degrees.
2.
Place
the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Roll the crust out into a 12 inch
circle. Use a 4 inch cookie cutter to cut out 6 of your desired shapes.
Transfer the shapes to a sheet pan lined with a silicon baking mat or parchment
paper.
3.
Sprinkle
the cheese evenly over the 6 crust shapes. Top with slices of pepperoni to
cover, leaving a small border around the edges.
4.
Beat
the egg in a small bowl. Brush the egg along the border of the dough.
5.
Gather
the dough scraps and re-roll the dough to a similar thickness. Cut out 6 more
of your shapes. Lay the shapes on top of the pepperoni layer. Use a fork to
crimp the edges shut.
6.
For
a standard pizza pocket, use a paring knife to cut a few lines in the top. For
a jack-o-lantern, use a paring knife to carefully cut out eyes and a mouth.
7.
Brush
the tops of the pizza pockets with the egg wash. The pockets can be baked
immediately or covered loosely with plastic wrap and stored in the fridge.
8.
Bake
the pizza pockets for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately with
marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes
Make Ahead: The uncooked
pizza pockets can be stored loosely covered in the fridge for up to 8 hours.
