How To Shape Each Pizza Pocket

Folding the pizza pocket.
  1. Combine 2 Rhodes dinner rolls. Roll out the combined dough on a surface sprayed with nonstick spray to an 8×8 inch square.
  2. Layer fillings of your choice down the center of the dough, leaving 2-inches of clean edges.
  3. Fold the top and bottom over the filling, then fold in the sides pinching the top flap to seal.
  4. Place seal side on a sprayed baking sheet. Add vents on the top by cutting slits 3 small with a sharp knife.
  5. Bake at 350ºF for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Freezing Instructions: After baking let cool and wrap in plastic wrap or foil and freeze for reheating in the microwave, air fryer or oven later.
