Pizza Pockets

Time: 25 minutes

Serves: 4

Difficulty: 5

Ingredients:

Shortening	2 slices mozzarella/American/provolone
1 10-ounce package refrigerated pizza dough	1 tablespoon milk
¼ cup pizza/spaghetti sauce	2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
20 slices pizza-style pepperoni

Supplies:

Large baking sheet	Pastry brush
Pizza cutter	Fork
Measuring cups and spoons	Oven mitts or potholders
Table knife	Spatula

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Grease the baking sheet with shortening and unroll the pizza dough onto the sheet. Use the pizza cutter to cut the dough into four equal-size squares.

With the table knife, spread about a tablespoon of sauce on each square, making sure to leave a border of about ¼ inch around the edges. It will squirt out of the sides otherwise.

Place five slices of pepperoni on each square. Cut each square of cheese in half diagonally, then place a half on top of the pepperoni on each pocket.

For each pocket, fold the top left corner onto the bottom right corner to make a triangle. With the tines of a fork, gently press the edges of the dough together to keep the filling inside.

Use the pastry brush to brush the tops of the pockets with milk. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and put the baking sheet into the oven. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove the baking sheet with potholders or oven mitts. Take the pockets off of the baking sheet with the spatula and let cool before eating.
