Mozzarella Turnovers Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 6 equal squares.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
5. Add a spoonful of the mozzarella mixture onto each dough square, leaving a little bit of space around the edges.
6. Using a pastry brush, brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg.
7. Fold the dough over to create a triangle, pressing the edges together firmly to seal the turnovers.
8. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the olive oil and sprinkle with a little bit of salt.
9. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Verdict and Serving Suggestions

These mozzarella turnovers are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack! The combination of tangy tomato sauce and gooey melted mozzarella cheese makes for a satisfyingly savory treat. Serve them warm straight out of the oven, with a side of additional tomato sauce for dipping. Alternatively, they can also be served with a simple side salad for a light lunch or dinner.
