Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment or cooking spray.
In a small saucepan, combine garlic, kosher salt, tomato paste, tomato sauce, black pepper, oregano, and olive oil. Bring to a simmer, then cook on low, stirring, for 3 minutes. Cool the sauce.
On a floured surface, roll each biscuit to a 6-inch diameter.
Spread 2-3 teaspoons of sauce on each round, then top with desired ingredients and 1 tablespoon of cheese.
Moisten biscuit edges with water, fold over, and press to seal. Prick each pocket with a fork and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 14-16 minutes until nicely browned.
Meanwhile, warm any remaining pizza sauce.
Optionally, brush baked pockets with olive oil, sprinkle with Parmesan, and serve hot with warm sauce on the side.
