Ingredients

  • Puff Pastry
  • Pizza Sauce
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Beef Pepperoni
  • Cooked Ground Beef
  • Finely diced Bell Peppers
  • Mushrooms
  • Onions
  • Black Olives
  • Cooked and Crumbled Italian Sausage (beef or turkey)
  • Spinach (sautéed and squeezed dry)
  • Ricotta Cheese
  • Egg Wash (1 egg with a splash of water or milk)
  • Optional Seasonings (Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pastry: Ensure your puff pastry is properly thawed but still cold. Gently unroll one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface or a piece of parchment paper.
  2. Cut the Pastry: Cut the puff pastry sheet into even rectangles, usually two large rectangles per sheet.
  3. Layer the Filling: On one half of each pastry rectangle, spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce, leaving a clean border. Layer about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your chosen fillings.
  4. Seal the Pockets: Fold the plain half of the puff pastry over the filling, aligning the edges. Press down around the edges to seal and use a fork to crimp all around the edges.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Transfer your sealed hot pockets to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Egg Wash and Vent: Whisk together one egg with a tablespoon of water or milk and brush the tops of each hot pocket. Make 2-3 small slits on the top of each hot pocket.
  7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the hot pockets for 18-22 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the hot pockets cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

These hot pockets can be customized with your favorite pizza ingredients. Pair with marinara or ranch dressing for dipping.
