Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares.

  3. 3

    Place a tablespoon of pizza sauce in the center of each square, leaving a 1cm border.

  4. 4

    Top with mozzarella, pepperoni, and bell peppers.

  5. 5

    Fold the pastry over to form a triangle or rectangle. Use a fork to crimp the edges tightly to seal.

  6. 6

    Place on the baking tray. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with oregano and parmesan.

  7. 7

    Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

  8. 8

    Let cool for 5 minutes before serving (the filling will be very hot!).

Tips, Variations and Storage

Tips: Don't overfill the pockets or they will burst in the oven. Ensure the edges are well-sealed with a fork. Variations: Try a vegetarian version with spinach and feta, or a BBQ chicken version. Storage: Can be frozen before or after baking. If frozen after baking, reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
