Homemade Pizza Pockets Recipe
These Healthier Homemade Pizza Pockets come together in mere minutes and are so fun to make! It's a great recipe to involve the whole family in- everyone can add in their favorite pizza toppings. I made my vegetarian but feel free to use whatever filings you'd like; they're so customizable!
Servings: 8 pizza pockets
Ingredients
- 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- Half packet of pepperoni ~3 oz of pepperoni total, I used a vegan version
- 1 tablespoon of Trader Joe's Pizza seasoning plus more for topping (or sub for a mixxture of Italian seasoning + garlic powder)
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of water
- 4 large burrito tortillas cut in half
- Optional marinara for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the mozzarella, pepperoni, and seasoning. Set aside.2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, Half packet of pepperoni, 1 tablespoon of Trader Joe's Pizza seasoning
- Make your "glue" by mixing together the flour + water.2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of water
- Taking one tortilla half at a time, fold one side over to the middle and then fold the other side over top of that to create a cone. Brush some of the "glue" along the side edge and press to seal (see video for reference).4 large burrito tortillas
- Fill the cone 2/3 of the way full with the cheese mixture. Add more glue to the top of the tortilla and lay it flay on a clean surface. Use a form to piece the edges shut. Press firmly so that the pizza pocket is fully sealed. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Working in batches, place the pizza pockets into the air fryer and spray both sides with cooking spray. Top with additional seasoning as desired. Cook at 400 degrees F for 6 minutes. Repeat with remaining pizza pockets and enjoy!Optional marinara for serving
Notes
- the pizza seasoning is totally optional and not totally necessary. I tested these with just a little garlic powder sprinkled in and they were still delicious!
