Homemade Hot Pockets
Homemade hot pockets! There’s nothing they can package up and sell at the grocery store that you can’t make better at home. My kids love store-bought hot pockets, so I came up with my own homemade version that I can feel good about.

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 6

Prep Time: 45 minutes   Cook Time: 25 minutes  

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups warm milk
1 teaspoon yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
4 cups all-purpose flour

plus filling ingredients (varies)

Directions

In a large bowl, combine warm milk with yeast and sugar. Let sit for five minutes. Add salt, vegetable oil, and egg. Stir in flour until the dough is stiff enough to knead. (Add flour a little at a time. Four cups flour is approximate; exact amount may vary.) Knead dough until smooth and elastic–a few minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl; cover. Let rise until doubled.

Now it’s time to make hot pockets! Make any kind of hot pockets you want. Use any kind of “wet” (condiment) ingredient you want–horseradish, salad dressing, herbed tomato sauce, etc, with any kind of sliced or shredded meat (this makes a really tasty use for leftover meat), plus any kind of shredded cheese.

Punch down dough and divide in two. Roll each half into an approximately 8 x 12 inch rectangle. Using a pizza cutter, slice each rectangle into six parts.

For filling, place choice of condiment, meat, and cheese on each part and pull dough around to seal. Turn over so sealed side is down. Bake at 350-degrees for about 25 minutes, or until browned. (Keep an eye on ‘em.) Cool on wire racks.

Try anything! Ham and swiss! Bacon and cheddar! Roast beef and provolone! Chicken and ranch. Add sauteed vegetables, or use vegetables alone for a vegetarian hot pocket. The possibilities are endless for a perfect grab-and-go sandwich!

Devoir immediately, store in the fridge for a few days, or place in the freezer to grab whenever you need one. Reheat in the microwave for a minute.

    I made these tonight for my daughter’s first sleep over, I didn’t want to spend 12 dollars on a box of the things, then have to buy snacks and drinks. Plus recently we have discovered that made at home is worth the time it takes for so many reasons, the taste, being able to control what what is going into their bodies, not to mention the money I save. We have went from spending $250 a week to around $100 a week.

    The hot pockets were made as cheese burger hot dogs, ground beef with a touch of smoke flavoring, spicy cajun mustard and shredded cheddar. The taste was unbelievable, I ate 4 of them. With these I made baked flour tortilla chips with cajun seasoning. Such a simple easy and delicious meal.

    Thank you so much for the Grandmothers Bread recipe. We have already made burger buns and two loves of bread, as well as the hot pockets tonight from it. The kids (12 and 10) helped with the bread yesterday, they had a blast learning to knead.
