“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it."

Pizza Pockets Recipe


Recipe Ingredients:

1 can refrigerated pizza dough - (10 oz)
1/4 cup jarred pizza sauce
1 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1 tsp crushed dried oregano
Vegetable cooking spray, as needed

 

Recipe Instructions:

Open dough can and place on a work surface. Roll out and cut two 6-inch circles. Rework scraps, roll out, and cut out another two 6-inch circles for a total of 4 circles. Discard remaining scraps.

Place the dough circles on the work surface. Spread each circle with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce to within 1/4-inch of the edge. Place 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese near the center of each circle. Top each with 1 tablespoon ricotta cheese and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon oregano.

Dampen the edges of each circle with a little water. Fold circles in half, enclosing the cheese filling. Crimp the edges by pressing down with the tines of a fork along the edge. Cut two small slits in the top for steam vents. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place pizza pockets on prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Allow to cool for a few minutes before eating.
