Football Pizza Pockets Recipe

Ingredients:

1 Pack Pie crust or Pizza crust

Pizza sauce

Pepperoni

Mozzarella Cheese

1 egg (beaten with a tablespoon of cold water)

Method:
– Roll out you pie crust (I prefer the flakiness of pie crust rather than pizza dough for this recipe). Using a round larger cookie cutter, cut round circles of the pastry. Then cut them into football shapes. Once you have one it’s easy to use it as a template and cut the rest out. Re-roll the scraps and cut out as many football shapes as you can.
– On a football cutout, place a couple pepperoni slices, a piece of mozzarella and a little pizza sauce.
– Brush a little of the egg wash around the edges and place another football shaped cutout over the stuffing and seal by pressing down on the edges.
– Using a fork, crimp the edges around the pizza pocket and make slits in the top to resemble football laces.
– Brush the tops of each pizza pocket with the egg wash and place them on a baking sheet.
– Bake in an oven pre-heated to 425F for around 10-12 minutes or until the pizza pockets turn a golden brown. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
