Instructions
Making High Protein Pizza Hot Pockets is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, high-protein flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in olive oil and warm water until the mixture forms a dough.
4. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.
5. Roll Out Dough: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
6. Fill the Pockets: On one half of each circle, layer mozzarella cheese, diced pepperoni, vegetables, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
7. Fold and Seal: Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
8. Prepare for Baking: If desired, brush the tops with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Bake: Place the Hot Pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
