Perfect Pizza Pockets
This recipe is adapted from Ree Drummond’s calzones. My husband does not like ricotta but I was too impressed by the dough not to find a version for my dinner table. These pizza pockets are delicious, a crowd pleaser, and budget friendly. My husband loves these so much that we have had them once a week for the past two weeks and he has gladly taken the leftovers for lunch. Which is a win in my book!
