Pocket Recipe - My version of hot pockets

post #1 of 23
Thread Starter 

Pocket recipe:
1 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons molasses (or honey)
2 cups whole-wheat flour
2 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Put on dough cycle in the bread machine.

Filling:
1 small bag of frozen hashbrowns
6 slices bacon
1 cup diced ham
6 eggs
3 green onions
1 1/2 c. shredded mozza cheese

((You may add other fillings for lunch or dinner pockets. I use pepp. and cheese, chicken with broc and cheese and a big slew of different ones for my family))

This recipe made 11 really BIG (adult sized) breakfast pockets so you could divide the dough even smaller for munchkin sized ones.

I had my bacon already cooked so all i had to do was fry the hashbrowns and scramble the eggs. Mix everything except the cheese together and let cool. Once cool mix in the cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Divide dough into 11. Roll until about the size of a pita it will be VERY thin. Brush dough with melted butter and put aprox 1/2 c. of filling in the middle. now bring up both the sides and pinch together. It will look kind of like a big perogi laying on it's back. Gently turn it over into your hand and place on greased baking sheet pinched side down. Tuck the ends under.

Let rise for 10-15 minutes.
Bake at 375 for 25minutes

Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter and I sprinkled mine with fresh cracked pepper and cracked sea salt.

Move to cooling wrack so that they don't get soggy.

When cooled wrap in paper towel and put in a freezer bag.

TO HEAT:
Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes

I do not have a bread machine or yeast right now to make the dough. But I do have a tube of Pillsbury biscuits. I think I may try to use these and see what happens. My kids LOVE breakfast hot pockets. They eat them at least once a week. At over $2 per box, they get expensive. I always wait until they are on sale but I have never come across coupons for them to lower the price.

Made up a small batch of these today. I did like I posted before use refrigerater biscuits as no bread maker. Only problem I ran into was the biscuits were generic and said that they were big, well I assumed (should have known better) that they would be big like Pillsbury Grands biscuits, well, they werent. So all I did was use two biscuits per hot pocket in order to them the right size per SouthernMama's instructions. So I only got five pockets, but I was making breakfast burritos to freeze too, so my egg/hashbrown mix did not go to waste. I have my pockets cooling off now and will finish them up a little later. I will update this to let everyone know how they turned out once I nuke them up for the boys for breakfast.

Thanks, these were great! I used the Pillsbury pizza dough to make them. We love them and it's going to save us a fortune in hot pockets

I made these for dinner last night with ham, broccoli and cheese. I don't have a bread maker so I just mixed the dough and let rise until double. They were delicious and a great thing to keep in the freezer. I was surprised how much these tasted like real hot pockets - and SO much healthier!
