P IS FOR POCKET PIZZA 
PIZZA DOUGH INGREDIENTS:

1 c. flour
1/3 c. milk
2 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

FILLING INGREDIENTS:

1 tbsp. oil
1/4 c. pizza sauce
1/2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2 c. cooked Italian sausage
1 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 pkg. sliced pepperoni
3 tbsp. pizza sauce
1/2 c. shredded Mozzarella

Mix all dough ingredients in a bowl until dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Dump out dough onto a lightly floured surface; make it into a ball. Knead 10 times.

Note: As with any dough, you may need to adjust consistency due to variability of flours and humidity. If the dough is too crumbly or dry, sprinkle it with a few drops of water at a time until the dough can be rolled easily (try to add as little as possible). If the dough is too sticky, dust it lightly with a tablespoon of flour at a time, until the dough may be rolled without sticking. The 15 minute resting period is very important as it allows the dough to hydrate and makes it easier to roll.

Turn bowl upside down on top of dough and let stand for 15 minutes.

Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with shortening. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Fold loosely in half and place on cookie sheet. Unfold and brush with oil.

Layer ingredients on half of circle in the order listed above. (That is why the pizza sauce and cheese is listed twice.) Fold dough over filling. Turn edge of lower dough over edge of top dough, and pinch edges to seal the pocket. Prick top with a fork, then bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
