HOMEMADE PEPPERONI PIZZA

Steps:

• For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
• For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
• Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)
• Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.
• For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.

PIZZA POCKETS

Steps:

• For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over 3 cups warm (not lukewarm) water. Let stand for a few minutes.
• In a mixer, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with a paddle attachment), drizzle in the olive oil until combined with the flour. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined and the dough comes together. (The dough will be sticky.) Form the dough into a ball.
• Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil and toss the dough in the olive oil to coat. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside for 1 hour to rise. Then put it in the fridge to chill for 2 hours or longer. (The dough is much easier to work with when very cold.)
• For the mushroom version: Add the olive oil to a pan with the heat on medium and saute the garlic and onions for about a minute. Add the mushrooms and thyme and saute for 3 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce for a couple of minutes until most of the liquid is gone. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool to room temperature.
• For the meat version: Crumble the Italian sausage into a skillet with some olive oil and brown until cooked through, 5 minutes. Let cool.
• When you are ready to make the pizza pockets, take half the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle. Cut into 18 rectangles with a rectangular cutter. Put 9 of the rectangles onto a baking sheet and top them with the fillings for the meat version: some marinara sauce, mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni and Canadian bacon. Lay the other 9 rectangles on top and crimp the edges with a fork. Brush with the beaten egg. Put into the freezer to flash-freeze for 30 minutes.
• Repeat with the other half of the dough and the fillings for the mushroom version: some mozzarella, goat cheese and the sauteed mushrooms.
• When the pockets have been flash-frozen, transfer to ziptop bags and store in the freezer.
• When ready to cook, place on a baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes.

PITA PIZZA POCKET- WEIGHT WATCHERS (WW) 4PTS!!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 (I used toaster oven, temperature in other ovens may vary).
• Put sauce in Pita Salad Pocket. Try to get it all on the inside.
• Place all ingredients/toppings remaining, making sure to top with cheese.
• **hint. I used a separate piece of alumunim foil to slightly prop up the open side so all the cheese didn't run out while baking it.
• Bake at 350 around 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
• ** I have made with onions, green peppers as well. You can add crushed red pepper or jalapenos if you like pizza hot.

HOMEMADE PIZZA POCKETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Spray two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray (or line with parchment paper.)
• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and garlic.
• In a separate larger bowl, combine flour, parmesan cheese, salt, baking powder and Italian seasoning.
• Using a fork or a pastry blender, begin cutting in the cubed butter into the flour mixture until no large clumps remain.
• Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture.
• Mix until dough comes together into a loose ball. Note: to make this easier, you could use an electric mixture with a dough attachment.
• Dump the dough ball onto a large, floured countertop.
• Knead the dough ten times (turning it over onto itself and turning 90 degrees each time). Add additional flour as necessary to keep it from sticking.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out dough to about ½-inch thickness.
• Take a 3-inch biscuit cutter (or similar size glass or bowl), cut out all the dough into circles.
• After cutting out the circles, press them down or roll them out some more to make them large enough to hold the all the fillings. Note: this dough does stretch pretty easily too which you may need to do to close it up over the fillings.
• Place the crust circles on prepared baking sheets.
• Spoon a tablespoon of pizza sauce onto the middle of the dough circles.
• Then add a tablespoon of shredded cheese, a slice of pepperoni and a tablespoon of crumbled sausage.
• Carefully fold the crust in half and press together the edges.
• Take a fork and go around the edges to make sure they seal closed. If necessary, add a bit of water to the seals with your finger to help them stay sealed.
• Bake at 450f degrees for 13-15 minutes until crust is lightly browned. Continue until all pizza pockets are made.
• Optional: Brush tops of warm pizza pockets with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley.

PIZZA POCKETS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the garlic and oregano, and cook for 1 min until fragrant. Stir in the tomatoes and tomato purée, and cook over a high heat for about 5 mins until thickened.
• Unroll the pastry, cut each sheet into quarters, and arrange on two baking trays. Spread a little of the tomato sauce over half of each quarter, keeping a border about 0.5cm around the edge. Top with the cheese, followed by the pepperoni and olives (this keeps the cheese from sticking to the top of the pastry as it melts). Brush the edges with egg and fold over the uncovered half of the pastry, pressing down the edges with a fork to seal. If you have time, leave the pockets in the fridge for at least 15 mins to firm up.
• Before baking, make a hole in the top of the pockets and brush with a little more egg. Bake for 20 mins or until golden.

PEPPERONI PIZZA POCKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a small saucepot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add in the tomato paste and saute for 1 more minute. Stir in the diced tomatoes, sugar and season with salt and pepper. Add the torn basil leaves and bring to a slow simmer. Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes while you make your pizza pocket.
• Roll out the dough balls on a lightly floured surface into 4 equal rounds. On half of each round, layer some mozzarella, and then some pepperoni slices. Fold in half, covering the filling, and then fold the outer edges up and crimp the edges with your fingers to seal. Place the pockets on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with the sauce on the side.
