1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) regular active or fast-acting dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon small capers, if desired
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in half of the flour, the salt, sugar and 1 teaspoon oil. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.

Cover, let rise in warm place 20 minutes. Gently push fist into dough to deflate. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 48 hours. (If dough should double in size during refrigeration, gently push fist into dough to deflate.

Provided by CandyTX

Categories     Cheese

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 medium tomatoes
1/2 lb fresh mozzarella cheese (if all you can find is the tub, make sure to pat it real dry)
1/2 cup torn basil leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
kosher salt or sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut up the tomatoes and mozzarella into large cubes.
  • Add basil leaves and drizzle w/ vinegar and olive oil.
  • Stir lightly.
  • Sprinkle with a little salt.
  • Chill at least one hour.
  • Store in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh mozzarella cheese. Fresh mozzarella is softer and creamier than regular mozzarella, and it melts beautifully.
  • If you don't have fresh mozzarella, you can use regular mozzarella cheese. Just make sure to slice it thinly so that it melts evenly.
  • To make the pizza pockets easier to seal, wet the edges of the dough with water before folding them over.
  • If you don't have a pizza oven, you can bake the pizza pockets in a regular oven. Just preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the pizza pockets for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Serve the pizza pockets with your favorite dipping sauce. Marinara sauce, pesto, or ranch dressing are all great options.
