Homemade Pizza Pockets

Author Savanah

Ingredients

  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 ½ cups flour sifted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • sauce
  • toppings
  • shredded cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray cookie sheet or pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl dissolve active dry yeast in warm water along with sugar. Let stand for 8-10 minutes.
  • Stir in flour, salt and oil slowly. Beat until smooth. If you have a standup mixer this is the perfect time to use the bread hook available. If not simply mixing by hand until forms a dough (somewhat sticky) works just fine. Set aside and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Dust a clean flat surface with flour and pat dough out until ¼ inch thick. Approximately 14”x 12”.
  • Cut into 4 strips and each strip cut into 4 rectangles. Total 12 “pockets” will be created from this dough.
  • On each rectangle of dough, leave a teaspoon or two of sauce, preferred toppings and cheese. Try to keep toppings centered in dough.
  • Fold dough over from both sides meeting in middle and pinch along sides to seal. If dough is sticky, may need to use a spatula or flat knife to slide under pocket to lift and place on baking sheet.
  • Bake pockets for 7-10 minutes at 375 degrees or until golden brown on top.
  • Serve hot or allow to cool and place in labeled freezer bags to freeze for future use.
