Pizza Pops

OK, so do you know what a pizza is? Yup, that's right - it's a yummy dish with bread, tomato sauce, cheese, and other toppings like pepperoni or veggies. Now, imagine a mini version of that - that's what a pizza pop is! It's also sometimes called a hot pocket or a pizza pocket.

First, someone makes a dough that is rolled flat. Then they add tomato sauce, cheese, and other ingredients, just like a regular pizza. But instead of baking it in an oven, they fold up the dough around the toppings and seal it shut.

Now comes the fun part - heating it up! You can put the pizza pop in the microwave or the oven, and when you take it out, it's all hot and melty and delicious. You can even hold it in your hand and eat it, just like a big piece of pizza!

Pizza pops are a really popular snack food because they are easy to make and easy to eat. Plus, they come in different flavors like pepperoni, cheese, and even bacon and mac n cheese!
