Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Filling

    In a bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, diced bell pepper, diced onion, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 8

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 9

    Cut and Fill

    Cut the dough into squares, about 4x4 inches. Place a spoonful of the filling mixture in the center of each square.

  4. 10

    Seal Puffs

    Fold the dough over to create a triangle shape and press the edges together to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for extra security.

  5. 11

    Brush and Sprinkle

    Place the filled puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

  6. 12

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

  7. 13

    Serve

    Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your pizza puffs warm!
