Homemade Pizza Pockets (with bacon!)

Ok, since this is long over due (I was supposed to post in Oct) and I am already blogging, here we go! I just posted about homemade pizza (which also had bacon), and I used the same dough recipe for these pizza pockets (although I think a thin crust pizza dough would be better). I'll re-post the recipe though.

Here it is:

Dough:

1 1/4 C warm water

1 T. yeast

1 tsp. sugar

-Mix together and let sit for 5 minutes (unless you use quick yeast)

1 T. olive oil (or any oil)

1 tsp. salt

3 C flour

-Mix together for 2 minutes in blender, or longer if you knead by hand.

-I mixed by hand and it took me a while, plus I added about 3/4 C more flour, and probably could have used even more than that. 

-Let dough set for 10 minutes, then it will be ready to use.

I just used small amounts of dough rolled out for the pockets. Filled one side and folded the other over and pressed to two sides together. Here are some of the combinations I did.

Mozzarella, tomato, basil, ranch

Ranch, mozzarella, bacon, avocado

I believe I put these in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Just check them probably at 10 minutes and bake as long as you like!

I also made a desert one with apples softened in butter and a little brown sugar.

I added more brown sugar to the pocket and cinnamon as well.

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of these after they were baked, but I'll say this. I liked the dessert ones better than I liked the pizza ones. :) At least with this dough recipe anyways.
