Creating these Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets is a straightforward process. Just follow these steps to achieve cheesy perfection:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

4. Add Cheese: Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each square.
5. Add Toppings: Add your choice of pepperoni and a teaspoon of pizza sauce on top of the cheese.
6. Season: Sprinkle a bit of Italian seasoning for extra flavor, if desired.
7. Fold the Pockets: Gently fold the dough square over the filling to create a triangle shape.
8. Seal the Edges: Use a fork to press down on the edges to seal the pocket securely.
9. Prepare the Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the pizza pockets for a golden finish.
10. Bake: Place the pizza pockets on a greased baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
11. Cool before Serving: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns.
