Categories     Dinner

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 and 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast from Red Star (1 standard packet)
1 and 1/3 cups (320ml) warm water, about 110°F (43°C)
3 and 1/2 cups (438g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled), plus more for work surface
1 Tablespoon (13g) granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon milk
8 slices cheese or 2 cups shredded (I use sharp cheddar)
16 thin slices deli ham or 2 cups cubed ham

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.

HAM AND CHEESE POCKETS



Ham and Cheese Pockets image

Home Made Hot Pockets! I used to make these for my (now grown) boys - they were great for after school snacks and school lunches. I now make them for my stepdaughter, who loves them just as much. These freeze great! My boys used to come home from school or sports activities and get them right from the freezer and pop them in the microwave for snacks. (They still do..when they can get them!) I frequently double the recipe - I can never seem to have enough on hand. Please note there is no measurement for the ham - use about 1/4 cup ham and one piece of sliced cheese, chopped per pocket. Really, any meat &/or cheese will work - mix and match to your taste!!!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose a good quality ham and cheese, and use fresh vegetables.
  • Don't overstuff the Hot Pockets. If they are too full, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open during baking.
  • Bake the Hot Pockets until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the Hot Pockets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. They are best when eaten fresh out of the oven.
