|
Ingredients
1 package (10 oz) thawed chopped broccoli
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic
turkey or regular pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 jarred roasted peppers chopped or fresh red pepper
chopped
1 tablespoon McCormick classic Pizza seasoning
1 loaf frozen bread dough thawed
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. grease 2 baking sheets.
Step 2
In a medium large pan heat oil and saute garlic (add fresh
peppers) for 2 minutes and broccoli cook with
lid till broccoli is slightly tender.
Step 3
Thinly slice 1/2cup of pepperoni and in a large bowl
combine this along with broccoli mixture, Parmesan, Peppers,
pizza seasoning. Mix well!
Step 4
On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into 8 pieces; roll
out each piece to form a 6-inch circle. Spoon out an equal
amount of broccoli mixture in the center of each circle.
Fold dough over filling to form a half circle. Press edges
with a fork to seal; prick a few holes in pocket tops.
Step 5
You can either freeze these and bring them out for a quick
nutritious meal OR place pockets on
prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden, about 25
minutes. Serve immediately.
If your family does like these you can get creative and make
pizza pockets, ham and cheese or whatever you can think of.
I use a bag of bread loaves and make a bunch of them (with
the kids help) and freeze them. I bring them out when I don't
feel like cooking with a can of soup.
