Menu Planner Menu Planner   PIZZA POCKETS  

 
INGREDIENTS

1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough (i.e. Pillsbury)
1/4 c. pizza sauce (low sodium preferred)
1 c. part-skim mozzarella cheese
4 oz. reduced fat ricotta cheese
1 tsp. oregano
  nonfat cooking spray
RECIPE

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Open dough can and place on a work surface. Roll out and cut two 6-inch circles. Rework scraps, roll out, and cut out another two 6-inch circles for a total of 4 circles. Discard remaining scraps.
  • Place the dough circles on the work surface. Spread each circle with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce to within 1/4 inch of the edge. Place 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese near the center of each circle. Top each with 1 tablespoon ricotta cheese and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon oregano.
  • Dampen the edges of each circle with a little water. Fold circles in half, enclosing the cheese filling. Crimp the edges by pressing down with the tines of a fork along the edge. Cut two small slits in the top for steam vents. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place pizza pockets on prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for a few minutes before eating.
