Forget the Hot Pockets, Eat These!

The other night, Brian had an idea for dinner.  He wanted to make pizza pockets.  I said, sure, why not.  So we were going to make them last night, but when we realized we were eating left over pizza from Brian's office for lunch, pizza for dinner probably wouldn't have been the best thing.  So we did one better, we went out for burgers and beer.  HA!
So tonight we made the pizza pockets.  Well, more along the lines of Brian made the pockets and I watched while listening to SVU in the background.  You've got to love those marathons.  Anyways, here is what he used to make these delicious, flaky pockets:

-1 Tube of crescent rolls
-Pepperoni
-Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
 and
-A jar of your favorite sauce

Basically the makings for a homemade pizza, minus the crescent rolls.

First, Brian spread corn meal on the counter top to keep the dough from sticking.  He likes to use that instead of flour.  I actually like it to, I find it doesn't dry the dough out as much.  Then he rolled out the dough from the can and laid the triangles out.  Then he pinched together 2 of the triangles to make one giant rectangle of dough.  If you follow with the other triangles you should end up with 4 separate rectangles in the end.  Then, he took one of the rectangles and began rolling it out, just to make it a tad bigger.

Once he finished rolling out the dough, he spooned sauce onto half of the pocket, then sprinkled cheese and pepperoni on top.  He followed with one more layer of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni on top.  Once finished, he folded the dough over to create a pocket.  Then he pressed down the sides with a fork, almost to give a ravioli type look to it.

He repeated these steps with the other 3 rectangles, then placed them in the oven at 350 degrees.  It seemed as though the pockets were in the oven for about 15 minutes, but I could be wrong.   SVU just sucked me in.  So I would say place the pockets in the oven for what is called for on the crescent roll package, then go from there. 
The final product was actually pretty good.  It was really flaky and had just the right crispiness on the outside.  Brian thought the center was still a little doughy, but I think mine were done all the way through.  I would recommend these as a snack or even a meal as we did.  So forget the Totino's Pizza Rolls!  Eat a homemade pizza pocket!
