Pizza Pocket Bites - PCOS-Friendly Recipe

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the pizza crust dough in a bowl with the oregano, add the required amount of warm water according to the packet instructions and mix thoroughly to form a smooth dough.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it until it is smooth.

Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan and cook the peppers over a moderate heat for 4 –5 minutes until soft, then add the pepperoni and cook for a further 1 minute.

Divide the dough into 8 pieces and make a well in the center of each. Divide the peppers and pepperoni between the dough pieces and very roughly knead them into the dough, then shape the dough pieces into rough balls and place them on a baking sheet. Cover the balls with a damp cloth and leave them to prove for 30 minutes, or until they have roughly doubled in size.

Sprinkle the balls with the cheese and bake them for 20 minutes until they are golden and cooked through – when they’re cooked, the base of each pizza bite should sound hollow when you tap it. Serve the pizza bites while they are still warm.
