They puff right up when baking and come out golden brown! Homemade Pizza Pockets are made from a simple homemade pizza dough recipe filled with sauce, pepperoni, sausage and cheese. In my quest to get my head back into the 'back-to-school' routine, I got a headstart on making a bunch of after-school snacks that can be frozen and reheated. I made my own homemade pizza sauce and I used reduced fat crescent rolls and turkey pepperoni.

If you're looking to make these ahead and freeze them for later use, I would suggest freezing them after stuffing the pastry squares and making them into sealed triangles.
