Saturday night snack: pizza pockets!

  Tonight I decided to make something I never have, pizza pockets :) I was even really naughty and used all in bleached flour instead of whole wheat!

To make these, use the basic pizza dough recipe I posted under the pizza post. Like I stated, I used all unbleached all purpose flour. I also used an extra quarter cup of warm water.

My dough looked like this.

After letting it rest for 10 minutes I pinched off 8 round balls of dough.

       Next I flatted them out, not as flat as I would if I were making a pizza..

  Then I put a rounded Tbsp of tomato sauce, you can use more if you can fit it (I just used left over Ragu that was in my fridge), and whatever toppings we wanted. The kids wanted just cheese, Trev had hot peppers and mushrooms and I had hot peppers, mushrooms and green peppers.

*Tip- don't let the sauce run over the edges, it makes it harder to seal them up later.

Then I added our cheese (as much as I could fit, about a Tbsp or less) and closed them up.

Make sure to seal them well!

                               

Then flip them over (These would make the perfect item to freeze for quick cooking in a pinch. You could freeze them at this point).

When you have done this to them all, bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes.

They should puff up nicely and lightly brown on top.

Let cool and enjoy!
