My baby Alexandra loves pizza pockets! It is her fav. and asks for them everyday. I decided to create my own. This was really simple and not to mention, way better for her. My husband loved them and devoured most of them. He thought they would be an amazing app. for a party or a dinner party.
They turned out crunchy, light and flavorful. I tried a few different things. I tried using one wonton wrapper per pizza pocket but that caused a small amount of filling. I decided to use two wonton wrappers per pizza pocket and it was perfect. It was almost like a fried ravioli, but with pizza filling. I served it with homemade pizza sauce.
The inside of the pizza pocket was filled with a simple filling: mozzarella, provolone and peperoni.
Anyway, just try it for your kiddos. It is soooo simple and they will love you for it. Alex actually hugged me. I think my hubby wanted to too. He loved the Pizza Pockets. It is funny that the simple things are what they love the most.

ReplyDeleteI used veg. oil. It works great. I make homemade chips ALL the time too. I just keep I big thing of veg. oil on hand.....If you try it let me know what ya think.
This is a fun snack to munch on. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks I am trying really hard. I am not a photographer. I want to portray my food well.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome...I love simple recipes. I also love pizza pockets!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. I wish you could make me some :). I think the crumble idea for the cinnamon raisin bread is a good one. I just wonder if the crumble will stick during the rising process. I guess maybe once its all prooved you can try and stick the crumble on then (right before it goes into the oven). Let me know how it goes!
ReplyDeleteThose look so good! I'm totally going to try these (when I can locate some wonton wrapers...) thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteYummy! And such a good idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese are delicious snacks and I love the extra dipping sauce!
ReplyDeletethese are really, as we say in Italian "sfiziosi" (fun and yummy), but here it's really hard to find wonton wrappers, what would you suggest as a substitute?
