Homemade Hot Pockets
Directions
- 1Combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 packet of instant yeast in a bowl.
- 2In a separate cup, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to 1 cup of warm water.
- 3Give your dry ingredients a quick mix.
- 4Add the water and olive oil mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- 5Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for a few minutes until it takes shape, folding one end to the other and pushing through the middle.
- 6Keep flouring your surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
- 7Place the dough ball back in the bowl, cover with a damp towel or saran wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 30 to 45 minutes or until it doubles in size.
- 8Once the dough is almost done rising, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 9Once the dough has doubled in size, push down in the middle.
- 10Cut the dough into six even pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
- 11Roll out each ball into a rectangle, roughly 10 inches long and 5 inches wide.
- 12For the pepperoni pizza hot pockets, spread pizza sauce on one half of the dough, then add low moisture mozzarella and pepperoni.
- 13For the ham and cheese hot pockets, add ham and cheese to one half of the dough.
- 14For the roast beef and cheddar hot pockets, add roast beef and shredded cheddar to one half of the dough.
- 15Take the top half of the dough and fold it over to the back of the dough.
- 16Pinch the sides with your thumb and then use a fork to seal the edges all together.
- 17Brush each hot pocket with a little egg wash.
- 18Sprinkle Italian seasoning on the pizza hot pocket and sesame seeds on the other hot pockets.
- 19Take a knife and cut a few slits into each hot pocket.
- 20Bake in the preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
