Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, mix 0.5 lb ground pork, 2 finely chopped scallions, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp black pepper until combined.
Step 2
Divide 1 lb pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Flatten each into a 5-inch round, then place a quarter of the pork mixture in the center.
Step 3
Fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4
Brush tops with water and sprinkle with 2 tbsp sesame seeds. Bake until golden brown and filling is cooked through, about 18-20 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
