Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions:
- In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar, then sprinkle yeast on top. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into squares (about 3x3 inches).
- On each square, place a small spoonful of pizza sauce, some mozzarella cheese, and a few slices of pepperoni. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Fold the dough over to form a pocket and pinch the edges to seal. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
