Pizza Pop Tarts

Ingredients:

• 1 package puff pastry dough (thawed)
• ½ cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 20-24 pepperoni slices
• 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • Roll out the puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into rectangles, roughly 4×6 inches each. You should get about 8 rectangles, depending on the size of your dough.
2. Assemble the Pop Tarts:
   • Place half of the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet. These will be the bottoms of your pop tarts.
   • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto the center of each bottom rectangle, spreading it out slightly but leaving a border around the edges.
   • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
   • Place 2-3 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese.
3. Seal the Pop Tarts:
   • Lay the remaining rectangles of dough over the top of the filled ones.
   • Press the edges together with your fingers, then use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the pop tarts.
   • Brush the tops of the pop tarts with the beaten egg wash to help them turn golden and flaky as they bake.
4. Bake:
   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pop tarts are golden brown and puffed up.
5. Serve:
   • Allow the pizza pop tarts to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a fun snack or a quick meal!
