Cooking Steps
Prep Vegetables
Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190°C).
Dice 1 medium onion and 1 bell pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add diced vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 min., or until softened.
Assemble Pizza Pockets
Divide pizza dough into 6 pieces. Roll each dough piece into rounds, about ¼-½ in. thick, depending on preference. Spoon pizza sauce, 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, and vegetable filling evenly onto the dough. Make sure to leave a little room on the edges of the dough so it is easier to close.
Bake Pizza Pockets
Fold each pizza pocket in half. Close the edges with a fork. Brush the tops of the pockets with 1 beaten egg. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 min, or until browned on top.
Serve with any remaining sauce and enjoy!
