homemade Hot pockets

Thanks to some of my dear homeschool moms & facebook friends, they convinced me to write a step by step way to making my hot pockets. First of all, you need to determine what kind of hot pockets you want to make. Some of our favorites are:
BBQ Chicken
Buffalo chicken
Pizza
Taco
Beef/chicken fajita
Breakfast (eggs, sausage & shredded cheese)

I usually get out the meats and cook them and get them ready before I begin. I then make a double batch of bread dough. My recipe is here: 5 c warm water 5 tsp salt 1 c olive oil 1 c raw honey 1/2 c vital wheat gluten (optional) 1 egg (optional) Mix these ingredients into a mixer. Add about 7 cups of flour (I grind my own for freshly ground). Turn on the mixer. Add about 2 1/2 tbsp yeast. Add the rest of the flour until not sticky and pulls away from the sides. Total flour should equal 15 or so cups. Let mix for about 5-8 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

Take out.


Divide dough into 4 OUNCE balls.



Roll flat (as flat as you can).

Add ingredients onto 1/2 of the dough (lower 1/2).  Be careful NOT to fill it too much, or they won't pinch completely closed.


Fold over


pinch and roll shut.


Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let cool completely.



I put mine in gallon ziplocs (with the type labeled on the outside) with cardboard (thin) in the bottom so that I can stack them in the freezer.
