TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a muffin tray generously with cooking spray.
2
Divide the pre-made pizza dough into 9 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle of approximately 1/8 inch thickness and about 3 inches in diameter.
3
Place a tablespoon of marinara sauce in the center of each dough circle.
4
Top the marinara sauce with a sprinkle of chopped spinach, broccoli florets, and slice of mushroom.
5
Add some optional pepperoni slices if desired, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
6
Fold the dough over the toppings, sealing edges to form a ball. Make sure the ball is sealed correctly, so the filling doesn't spill out during baking.
7
Place the prepared balls into the greased muffin tray.
8
Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil, then sprinkle a bit of dried basil on top of each.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
10
Allow the pizza pockets to cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy while warm!
