Traegerized Pepperoni Pizza Pockets

Looking for a simple weeknight meal/afternoon snack/party food/crowd pleaser type of recipe? Then look no further, these Traegerized (yeah, it's a word) Pizza Pockets fit the bill! Super simple to prepare and quick to bake, these fresh pizza pockets put those microwaved wanna-be's to shame. Packed full of warm, melty cheese and kissed with that signature Traeger smoky goodness, these little handheld bites will disappear faster than you can whip them up.

The secret to making the perfect pocket is the type of dough you use. Look for "seamless crescent dough sheets" for the best result. If you can't find them, regular crescent dough will work great, just pinch the seams closed so your filling doesn't leak out.

 

Traegerized Pizza Pockets

 

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10-12 minutes
Serves: 8 people
Recommended Pellets: Any

INGREDIENTS:
2 cans refrigerated crescent dough sheets
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Your favorite pizza toppings
Garlic salt (to taste)
Italian seasoning (to taste)
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

PREPARATION:

Start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open for 4-5 minutes. Place a pizza stone or an insulated baking sheet on the grill grate and close the lid. Turn the temperature setting up to 375 degrees and allow the grill to preheat. While the grill is preheating, assemble your pizza pockets.

On a large work surface, unroll the first can of dough.

Using a pizza cutter, lightly press on the dough to divide the sheet into 8 equal pieces. Don't cut all the way through the dough.

Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sauce onto each portion of dough. Top with 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese and your desired toppings.

Gently unroll the second sheet of dough and lay directly on top of the bottom sheet and fillings.

Using the side of your hand, press the top dough down around the filling to create 8 equal pockets. Top each pocket with the Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt.

Cut the pizza pockets out with a pizza cutter.

Place the pizza pockets on the preheated pizza stone and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve immediately.
