Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a hook attachment, combine the yeast and warm water. Stir it around and let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy. If the yeast doesn't dissolve or foam, your yeast is dead. Start again with active yeast. Add flour, sugar, olive oil, and salt. Mix by hand or with the dough hook on low speed for 1 minute. Once all of the ingredients are mixed, slowly knead for 7 minutes by hand or with your dough hook on low-medium speed. If your dough is too wet, add up to 1/4 cup more flour. After kneading, your dough should be smooth and elastic. Poke it with your finger - if it slowly bounces back, your dough is ready to rise. If not, keep kneading.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large mixing bowl that has been greased lightly with olive oil. Turn it over to coat all sides. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm environment (about 75°F or 80°F/24°C or 27°C)* for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Once risen, punch the dough down to release the air. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife, slice dough in half. Then slice each half into quarters. You'll have 8 pieces of dough, as shown in the photo above. Flatten each piece with your fingers or use a rolling pin. You want each piece of flattened dough to be about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide. They don't have to be perfect rectangles, as you can see in my photos! Transfer flattened dough to the baking sheets. Place the cheese (I fold the slice in half) and ham (2 slices for each) on top of the dough on one side, then fold the other side over top. Pinch the edges to seal as best you can. Use a fork to crimp the edges. Brush the tops and sides of each pocket with egg wash, then slice 2-3 slits in the tops for air vents (use a super sharp knife to do that).
- Bake the pockets for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Make sure to rotate the baking sheet once or twice during bake time. Remove pockets from the oven and allow to cool on the pan until ready to handle and serve.

Steps:
- Prepare pizza dough. Use a turnover maker or just roll out the dough into squares, fill each with a little ham and cheese and another desired vegetable, don't overfill, as they will leak!
- Seal edges with water, bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes on a greased baking sheet (those air bake ones are great for this!).
- Eat, or freeze, then nuke 'em for convenience! Look in the freezer section of the grocery store for more hot pockets to clone at home!

To make the perfect Ham and Cheese Hot Pockets, follow these tips:
- Use a thick, sturdy bread. A thick bread will hold up better in the cooking process and won't fall apart.
- Don't overstuff the Hot Pockets. If you overstuff them, they will be difficult to close and the ingredients will not cook evenly.
- Seal the Hot Pockets tightly. Make sure to pinch the Pocket closed along the seam, or the cheese will melt out. You can also use a pastry crimper to ensure the Hot Pocket is well-sealed.
- Cook the Hot Pockets until they are golden brown. This will give the bread a nice crust and the cheese will be melted and gooey.
- Serve the Hot Pockets with your favorite dipping sauces. Popular sauces include ranch, blue cheese, or ketchup.
The Ham and Cheese Hot Pockets are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even a late-night treat. With just a few ingredients, you can create a satisfying and flavorful meal that the whole family will love. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
