This week’s delectable appetizer came as a moment of nostalgia. See I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago where we had this thing called a Pizza Puff. A deep fried pizza deliciousness. And while I knew I couldn’t recreate it, I knew I could create something unique from the same idea.
The Pizza Pocket
Ingredients
Mozzarella cheese
1 Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheet (Makes 4)
Pizza Sauce
Pizza Toppings of your choice
1tbsp Butter
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder.
Recipe
1. Heat oven to 375. Unroll the crescent dough sheet o to a cold flat surface, I used my cutting board
2. Cut into 4 squares (one cut down the middle in each direction.
3. In the middle, put pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings all to your liking.
4. Fold in half. Use fork to press down the edges of all the open ends to seal closed
5. Melt butter in small bowl and mix with garlic powder.
6. With basting brush, brush the butter mixture over the top of each pocket.
7. On a nonstick sheet pan, or a sheet pan lined with nonstick foil, place the pockets, leaving space between them
8. Bake at 375 for 15-17 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
9. Take out. Plate. Enjoy!
Until next week!
