Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out store-bought crescent dough or homemade pizza dough on a floured surface and cut into circles.
Place a spoonful of marinara sauce on one half of each dough circle, add mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings.
Fold the dough over the filling and press down firmly to seal, crimping the edges with a fork if desired.
Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Allow to cool slightly for about 5 minutes and serve warm with extra marinara for dipping.
