Cooking steps for Bread Pizza Pockets
- 1Bread pizza pockets are the snack-time MVP crispy on the outside, gooey and cheesy on the inside, and loaded with all your favorite pizza flavors in a handy pocket-sized bite. Here's the ultimate bread pizza pockets recipe that'll have everyone asking for more!
- 2Start by heating 1 teaspoon of butter in a pan over medium heat.
- 3Add 1 finely chopped clove of garlic and saut until aromatic. Toss in 1/2 finely chopped onion, 1 finely chopped carrot, 3 tablespoons of sweet corn, and 1/2 finely chopped capsicum. Sprinkle in ¼ teaspoon of salt and saut until the veggies are slightly tender but still have a little crunch.
- 4Mix in 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce, 4 sliced olives, and 1 teaspoon of chopped jalapeños for that perfect zesty kick.
- 5Stir everything well, then remove from heat. Add ¼ cup of grated mozzarella cheese to the mixture while it's still warm, letting it melt slightly into the veggies. This cheesy, spicy filling is the heart of your bread pizza pockets!
- 6Take 9 slices of bread (white or brown, your call) and trim off the edges.
- 7Flatten each slice with a rolling pin to make them pliable. Spoon a small amount of the filling into the center of each bread slice, being careful not to overstuff.
- 8Lightly moisten the edges of the bread with water and fold it in half to form a semi-circle or triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal—use a fork for that cute, crimped design and to ensure nothing leaks during frying.
- 9Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Test the oil with a small piece of bread it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 10Gently slide in the prepared pockets and fry them in batches, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
- 11Drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil because crispy, not greasy, is the goal!
- 12Serve these hot bread pizza pockets with ketchup, chili sauce, or even a creamy garlic dip for the ultimate snack experience.
