Playing with dough is great fun for kids, especially when the result is pizza pockets. Older kids can make the dough themselves; for younger kids you’ll need to prepare the dough in advance and let them do the kneading. Make an extra batch and freeze for a quick meal anytime.
Preparation facts
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 recipe whole-grain pizza dough or 1 pound (455g) frozen whole wheat bread dough, thawed
3 Tbs (30g) cornmeal
6 oz (170g) mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup (240mL) marinara sauce
Favorite pizza toppings for filling
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Oil a baking sheet and then sprinkle with cornmeal.
Divide dough into six pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough into a large circle. Spread about 3 Tbsp (45mL) of marinara sauce on one side of circle. Sprinkle 3 Tbsp (25g) of cheese and other toppings as desired on top of sauce.
Fold dough in half to form a half moon shape. Firmly pinch the edges together. Use a fork to poke a few holes in each pocket to let the steam escape. Place pizza pockets on prepared baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
