Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent or pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface.
If using crescent dough, separate into triangles; if using pizza dough, cut into 8 rectangles.
Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each piece of dough.
Add mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices (or your favorite toppings) over the sauce.
Sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket and seal the edges tightly with a fork.
Brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the pockets.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with extra pizza sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

You can easily customize the fillings based on what you have—try cooked sausage, veggies, or even pineapple!
To make them extra crispy, brush with butter midway through baking.
These freeze well! Let them cool completely, then freeze and reheat in the oven.
