Like “Hot Pockets,” these Sausage Pizza Mock Pockets are tiny pockets of dough stuffed with, in this case, all the flavors of sausage pizza. Â All of the flavor (and then some), none of the chemicals.


Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp bottled minced garlic
- 1 can crushed tomatoes 14.5 oz
Pockets
- 1 batch pizza dough see notes
- 12 oz uncured italian sausage diced, see notes
- 2 cups mozzarella grated
Instructions
Sausage
- Cook sausage 10 minutes or until cooked and browned.
Sauce
- Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add garlic. Saute 30 seconds. Add tomatoes. Stir well, bring to a simmer, and simmer 5 minutes.
Pockets
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Divide dough in half. Reserve half for another use. Divide remaining dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion out to a rectangle 1/4 inch thick.
- Top each rectangle with 1/4 cup sauce. Top the sauce with 2 T. sausage. Add 1/4 c. cheese.
- Fold opposite sides up and over the filling. Pinch to seal. Pinch ends to seal. Place pocket on parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with each rectangle.
- Bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
I may have to search harder for the uncured sausage or pepperoni so I can try this.
