Ingredients

4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp yeast
3 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 1/2 cups of chopped meat ham or pepperoni
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup pizza sauce for pizza hot pockets

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Add flour, salt and yeast to a food processor with the blade attachment. Pulse until well mixed.
Pulse in olive oil.
Turn machine to the on position and while running pour in warm water. Let machine run until dough pulls away from the edges and forms a ball.
Put dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled in size.
Take handfuls of the dough and roll out into a small circle about the size of your hand. Add some pizza sauce, cheese and meat and fold the circle of dough over to make a half circle.
Seal the edges and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
To freeze: After baking, wrap in plastic wrap and place in a freezer safe ziploc bag. Freeze for later use.
To reheat from frozen, unwrap plastic wrap, cover in a paper towel and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. After it has been thawed, heat up in microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Notes

Makes about 8 large hot pockets and if you are using this dough to make pizza, it will make about 2 12-inch pizzas.

Other Toppings: Ground Beef, Bacon, Veggies, Canadian Bacon, Pineapple, Shredded Chicken, BBQ sauce, Spinach, Alfredo Sauce, Jalapenos

Freezing: Freeze up to 3 months.

Dough Tip: Here’s a simple trick for checking if the bread is done rising. Once you believe dough has doubled in size, simply use your fingers to make a half inch indentation into the top of the dough. If the indentation remains, the dough is ready for the next step. If the indentation goes away, the dough needs more time to rise.
