Creating these amazing Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the Dough: Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Unroll or stretch out the pizza dough into a rectangle or circle, about ¼ inch thick.

3. Cut the Dough: Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into even squares (approximately 4×4 inches). Place them aside.

4. Add Fillings: Take one square and spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce in the center. Then, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

5. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, add some cooked pepperoni, diced bell peppers, or mushrooms. Remember not to overfill to ensure they close properly.

6. Season: Sprinkle a small pinch of Italian seasoning over the filling for extra flavor.

7. Seal the Pockets: Fold the dough square in half to cover the filling. Press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring they are fully sealed.

8. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the tops of the pizza pockets with the egg wash for a nice golden finish.

9. Bake: Place the sealed pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

10. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with additional pizza sauce for dipping.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating perfect Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets that are guaranteed to impress.
