Ingredients
1/3 package Capital Pepperoni (500g)
Pizza Dough
1 Can Cremini Mushrooms
1 Onion
2 cups Strained or Crushed Tomato
1 cup Bocconcini or Mozzarella Cheese
2 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Red Chili Flakes (optional)
Sea Salt, to Taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to its highest setting, typically 500°F (260°C) for most ovens.
- Slice the Capital Pepperoni, Cremini Mushrooms, and Onion into similar-sized pieces. Use about a quarter to a third of the pepperoni.
- Heat a dry pan over medium-high and brown the sliced Pepperoni. When it starts to brown, add the Mushrooms and Onions with 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil. Sauté until onions are soft and translucent and the mushrooms have reduced in size.
- Stir in the Strained or Crushed Tomatoes, Oregano, Italian Seasoning, and optional Red Chili Flakes. Simmer until the mixture thickens. Season with Salt to taste.
- Coat a baking sheet with Olive Oil. Stretch or roll the Pizza Dough portions and place them on the sheet.
- Place 1-2 spoonfuls of the filling in the center of each dough portion and top with Bocconcini or Mozzarella Cheese.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Ensure the pizza pocket is coated with Olive Oil and sprinkled with Italian Seasoning.
- Pierce the top of each pocket a few times with a fork or knife.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 8 minutes, ensuring pockets are spaced out.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
