    This post was originally published in April 2015 and has been updated with new photographs.

    This recipe was originally inspired by the Never Say Xever episode of the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle series. In that episode and several that follow, they are steamed like traditional gyoza.

    But, my son didn't care for the texture. So, we remade them and baked them for a crunchy afterschool snack.

    Use your favorite pizza filling, we had mini pepperoni slices so I went with those. Plain cheese is great too. And aside from the actual baking part, kids of all ages can help make these.

    There are no real tricks to making them except keep an eye on the oven when you bake them so they don't burn.

    Baked Pizza Gyoza Step by Step

    Spread out the wonton or gyoza wrappers.

    Bake. And then try to keep them away from April and the Turtles so you can enjoy them.

    Baked Pizza Gyoza

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    Ingredients
     

    • wonton or gyoza wrappers
    • mozzarella cheese sticks (or mozzarella cheese)
    • pasta or pizza sauce
    • mini pepperoni pieces (or cooked sausage or other pizza topping)
    • cooking spray or oil

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice cheese sticks thinly or grate cheese.
    • Spread out wonton wrappers on a baking sheet.
    • Add about a teaspoon of sauce to the center of each wrapper.
    • Add cheese.
    • Add pepperoni.
    • Dip finger in water and wet around the edge of the wrapper.
    • Fold wrapper into a triangle and press to seal. You can make a fancy accordion fold, if desired, to look more like traditional gyoza.
    • Spray both sides with cooking spray or brush lightly with oil.
    • Bake for 3-4 minutes a side until they start to brown and crisp up. 

    Notes

    To steam them instead of baking for a softer (and more traditional gyoza-like) texture, place in a steamer basket over boiling water until the filling is heated and cheese is melted, about 5-10 minutes.
