Scale
Ingredients
1 (1-lb) refrigerated pizza dough
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 cups chopped or shredded meat, vegetables, and/or cheese
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
Instructions
Roll pizza dough into a 16″ x 18″ rectangle on a flour-dusted cutting board or counter.
Cut dough into 10 equal strips.
Working with 1 strip at a time, stretch the dough to about 3 or 4 inches wide. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on half of the dough. Top with about 3 tablespoons of meat, vegetables, and/or cheese.
Fold over half of dough to cover toppings. Pinch the sides to seal the pockets.
Whisk together egg and milk until blended. Brush each pocket with egg wash. Repinch any seams that have opened and use egg wash as “glue” to close. Discard any leftover egg wash.
Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet or baking mat at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack.
