How to Make Pizza Pockets Using Slices of Bread?
Made using leftover bread slices, a spoonful of pizza sauce, and your favourite veggies – these bread pizza pockets will be your family’s favourite snack.
To make these pockets crispier, use white sandwich bread and fry it to perfection for the desired crunchy texture.
Another reason why we love this recipe is that it is ultra-customisable!
You can use traditional pizza toppings like (definitely not pineapple!) onions, tomatoes, olives, jalapenos, sweet corn kernels, or even meat.
We have used store-bought pizza sauce in this recipe. However, this easy pizza sauce recipe can make the sauce from scratch. Now, let’s see how you can make these pockets at home.
