Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

- Divide the dough into 8 balls and roll each into a 6-inch oval.
- On half of each oval, add pizza sauce and cheese. Leave a ½-inch border for sealing.
- Fold the dough over and press the edges firmly with a fork. (Pro Tip: Dab a bit of water along the edges before folding for extra security!)

Notes
Let the pizza pockets rest after baking for enhanced flavors. Serve with a fresh salad or marinara for dipping. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
