Homemade Pizza Pockets

I have tried so many pizza crust recipes over the years and never found one I liked. This one finally did it for me! Everyone loves pizza so this recipe is perfect for the whole family!

You can make these pizza pockets any size you want! I can make a big one for two adults to share and a small one for my son with one batch of the dough. These are also freezable! Thaw and reheat to enjoy later.

We like to top ours with pepperoni, sausage, spinach, ham, cheese, and mushrooms; but the possibilities are endless! Try a buffalo chicken pocket, bbq chicken, or a even a dessert pizza pocket! Let me know what toppings you came up with in the comments below!
