A delightful twist on classic pizza bites, these cheesy pepperoni pockets are perfect for a quick snack or lunch.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a golden crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, half of the parmesan cheese, pepperoni slices, and pizza sauce. Mix until well blended.
Ensure the filling is evenly mixed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces and flatten each into a 3-inch circle.
Use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten the dough evenly.
Place a rounded tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center of each dough circle.
Avoid overfilling to prevent the dough from tearing.
Bring the edges of the dough together and pinch to seal, forming a pocket.
Pinch firmly to ensure the filling stays inside during baking.
Place the pockets seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese.
Brushing with milk helps achieve a golden, shiny crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
These are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
