Mini Pizza Pockets
(printable recipe)
Makes 12-15
28 oz. can San Marzano Plum Tomatoes
1 small slice of fresh Garlic
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Italian Medley Seasoning
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 small leaf of fresh Basil

1 tube of Pizza Dough Crust
4 ounces of Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
1 egg
Shredded Asiago Cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Open the can of tomatoes, and drain the juice. Place the tomatoes in to a food processor or blender, and puree. Place in pot and put on medium heat.

Slice a small piece of fresh garlic from a clove, chop in to small pieces and add to sauce.

Add the seasoning and sugar to the tomatoes. Take a leaf or two of basil and tear it into very small pieces; add it to the sauce. Bring sauce to a simmer, maintain heat on low.

Roll out tube of pizza crust. Use a 3 1/2" round cookie cutter and cut circles out of the dough. Re-roll the extra dough until you have enough rounds. Take the melted butter and brush it around the outside of the pizza dough round. On each round, place a 1/2 to1 teaspoon of sauce and a small cube of cheese on top. It may look as if the sauce will not fit and will over flow when you fold the dough, but the dough will expand when it is baking, making plenty of room.

Fold the rounds in half and place on a parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for 7-8 minutes.

Serve with pizza sauce garnished with shredded asiago cheese.
