These tasty triangles have already been pleasing palates the last few weeks.  Finally, my Pizza Bourekas recipe is available to all. I know we all love to stuff things inside dough.  So dig in and enjoy!

These pizza pockets should be served immediately.  They can be refrigerated and reheated a few days later, but they will not retain crispness.  When cooling for kids, be sure to cut in half. The outside may feel cool, but the pizza sauce inside could be hot enough to cause burns.

Pizza Bourekas are a quick and delicious lunch that even the kids will go crazy for!
