Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a thin 20 by 12 inch rectangle. Cut the rectable in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 8 equal rectangles.

Spoon topping onto 1 side of each rectangle. Using a pasty brush, brush the edges of the rectangle with egg wash. Close the rectangle of pizza dough over the topping. Use a fork to seal and crimp the edges. Place the pizza pockets onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet (or greezed cookie sheet). Brush the top of each of the pizza pockets with egg wash. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the marinara sauce over low heat in a medium saucepan. Serve hot pockes with marinara sauce for dipping.
