Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Refrigerated Pizza Dough Sheets
  • ½ cup Pizza Sauce
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • ½ cup Mini Pepperoni
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water
  • 2 tablespoons Butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out one pizza dough to approximately ¼ inch thick.
  • Using a tree-shaped cookie cutter, cut out shapes.
  • Place half of the trees on the baking sheet.
  • Add a small amount of pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni to the center, leaving the edges clear. Place another tree shape over each one and crimp the edges with a fork. Repeat with the second sheet of pizza dough.
  • Whisk the egg with the water and brush over the tops of the trees.
    • Have leftover pizza dough scraps? They can be hard to roll out again, even after resting the dough. Instead, make garlic twist breadsticks.
  • Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Mix the melted butter with the garlic powder and brush it over the warm pockets. Serve warm.
