If using store-bought dough, follow package instructions. If making from scratch, roll it out on a floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick.

Use a round cutter or a drinking glass to cut out circles from the dough, roughly 4-5 inches in diameter.

Place a slice or two of pepperoni in the center of each circle, followed by a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and a spoonful of pizza sauce.

Fold the dough over the filling, forming a half-moon shape. Press down the edges firmly with your fingers, then crimp with a fork for extra security.

Lightly brush the tops with olive oil, and sprinkle with extra herbs if desired.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pockets are golden brown.

Let them cool for a few minutes before diving in; the filling will be piping hot!
