• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 6 pockets

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup cornmeal
• 1  cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1  cup cherry tomatoes, cut in quarters
• 1⁄4 cup  pepperoni, sliced and diced
• 1⁄4 cup green pepper, chopped
• 1⁄3 cup parmesan cheese
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1⁄2 cup  pizza sauce
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 -1 1⁄2 lb  pizza dough (store bought)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F Grease 1 or 2 baking sheets, then sprinkle with cornmeal.
2. In a bowl, toss together the mozzarella, tomatoes, pepperoni, green pepper, parmesan, pizza sauce, oregano and pepper. Set aside.
3. Divide the pizza dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Roll each into 6 inch circle, on floured surface.
4. Spoon some of the filling into the middle of the circle, wet the edges slightly with water and fold over into a half-moon shape. Press the edges very firmly to seal all the way around, with a fork. Don't add too much filling or they will leak. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
5. Place 3 pockets on each baking sheet, they need room to expand. Then with a sharp knife, cut 2 or 3 small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
6. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool slightly before serving. Can be wrapped in foil for an on the go meal.
