  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 14 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups whole wheat flour
– 1 cup Greek yogurt
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup diced pepperoni or turkey pepperoni
– ½ cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
– ¼ cup diced onions
– ½ cup pizza sauce
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)


Instructions

Creating high protein pizza hot pockets is simple when you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt. Knead until a dough forms.
3. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin sheet. Aim for about ¼ inch thickness.
4. Cut the Dough: Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the rolled dough into rectangles, approximately 4×6 inches.
5. Add Filling: On one half of each rectangle, add a spoonful of pizza sauce, followed by mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
6. Fold and Seal: Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together. Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring they are sealed well.
7. Egg Wash (Optional): If desired, beat the egg and brush it over the top of each pocket for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Place the filled pockets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the hot pockets cool on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes.
10. Serve: Enjoy warm or store for later!
