Ingredients to Make Stuffed Pizza Pockets

1/3 cup tomato sauce
3.5 oz cooked ham
1.75 oz mushrooms
to taste oregano
to taste extra virgin olive oil
5.25 oz pizza mozzarella

How to Prepare Stuffed Pizza Pockets

Let’s start preparing the Stuffed Pizza Pockets. Cut the pizza mozzarella into small pieces.
Unroll the ready-made pizza dough, cut the shorter side in half and the longer side into 3 parts to get 6 rectangles.
Place tomato sauce in the center of each rectangle.
Add diced pizza mozzarella.
Add cooked ham.
Add sautéed mushrooms.
Now close the pockets by bringing the two opposite corners to the center and pinching them to seal.
Do the same with the other corners. Press the sides well and seal the pockets thoroughly. Repeat with all the pockets.
Add extra virgin olive oil and oregano.
Preheat the static oven to 392°F (200°C) and when hot, bake for 20 minutes. I didn’t make them too golden as I prefer a gentler bake, but you can cook them for another 5 minutes or until desired browning. Once ready, take them out and serve hot for a stretchy effect or at room temperature as you prefer.
