1
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
1
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes.
2
Divide the store-bought pizza dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
3
In a small bowl, combine the store-bought marinara sauce, chopped basil, chopped oregano, chopped parsley, and garlic powder. Mix well and set aside.
3
On a clean surface, gently roll out one sheet of thawed puff pastry into an even rectangle. Cut it into 4 equal rectangles.
4
Brush each rectangle with the garlic-butter mixture.
4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a 5-inch round disc.
5
Place 3 slices of pepperoni onto one half of each rectangle.
5
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the marinara sauce mixture onto the center of 4 dough discs, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
6
Place 6 pepperoni slices on top of the sauce, followed by 2 slices of fresh mozzarella and a generous sprinkling of grated parmesan.
6
Place a halved mozzarella cheese stick on top of the pepperoni.
7
Cover each filled disc with a plain dough disc and pinch the edges together to seal.

Fold the pastry over the filling, creating a square pocket. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.

Spray the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and cook each pizza pocket for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Carefully transfer the pizza pockets to the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between them.

Serve the Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Pockets with the remaining marinara sauce for dipping.

Repeat steps 3 to 8 with the remaining puff pastry sheet, pepperoni, cheese sticks, and garlic-butter mixture.
