Calories: 267kcal
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 (391g) can pizza crust such as the Pillsbury brand
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
- 1/4 cup pepperoni
- 1/4 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1/4 cup green pepper diced
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- Roll out canned pizza crust onto the baking sheet. Cut into 6 equal rectangles. In one small corner, spread a bit of sauce, cheese and toppings, leaving space around the edges for the dough to touch together in a triangle shape. You only want a tiny bit of each topping.
- Fold over diagonally to create a triangle shaped pouch, seal all edges, then press down around edges with a fork.
- Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes until dough is crisp and golden. Wait 5 minutes before eating - they will be hot!
