Hello Friends! I hope you enjoyed the long weekend as much as I did! This weekend we got together for a fun football gathering. Football is a lot more fun if you have a team to root for!

Today, I thought I would share these fun and festive Football Pizza Pockets. You will need a football-shaped cookie cutter to make these. But an Easter egg cookie cutter will work too!

Using refrigerated pizza dough, you can make mini pizza pockets. Just roll the dough on a floured surface, cut footballs out of crust dough.

 

Brush half of the footballs with pizza sauce, then sprinkle with cheese.

Place the plain dough footballs over the ones with the pizza toppings. and seal by pinching the edges.

Use the remaining dough remnants to make laces and place on top of the pizza pies.

Bake on cookie sheet. The time will vary depending on the brand of dough used. It can be anywhere from 9-15 minutes so watch carefully. I would also recommend baking on parchment paper to avoid over baking. football-pocket-pizzas

You will want to have some pizza dipping sauce because the pockets will be a bit dough-heavy if you eat them plain.

    I'm kinda rooting for neither. I just..don't really know either team. I like the commercials, though. And food like this! I may attempt this if I get asked to go to a party. My stomach is growling so much right now from your photos! I hope my laces would look as good as yours do.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
