I made these with leftover turkey and cheese after Easter (cheddar for me and Swiss for my husband). They are crazy easy to make and really good. For anyone trying this recipe, don't be afraid to roll the dough thin. It will puff a bit in the oven. I love that I control the ingredients (the whole wheat pizza dough is great!). The whole process, including making the dough from scratch, only took less than 2 hours. I did let my stand mixer do the kneading work. I made them again with turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuffing. OMG good! Now we have lunches in the freezer. Delicious!

Made these last night and they were delicious. Was in a rush so used store bought pizza dough and did the baked method. Did half with ham and cheese (put mustard right in them as I thought hubby might take in car to dd’s basketball game. Did the other half as pepperoni pizza pockets. We all loved them and I will make again. I found snipping with kitchen shears was easier than cutting slits. Thanks again! Right now the family naps while we await your instant pot lasagna.

In reply to Elizabeth. Hi Elizabeth! Sorry for the confusion. First, I am using a mixer--it does look like a food processor, but just an open mixer :) Secondly, I have included recipes for how turn pizza dough INTO pretzel dough if desired. Pretzels are made by placing the pizza dough quickly into a solution of warm water that baking soda has been dissolved into before baking. So you can make these hot pockets just with plain pizza dough or take the extra step to enjoy as pretzel hot pockets. Hope that helps.

Hi Kristen, Thanks for your wonderful recipes. I am confused with this one though. The recipe says to use pizza dough, but then there are so many comments about pretzel dough. There is a link to your pizza dough recipe but I didn't see a link to a pretzel dough recipe. I watched the video a few times because it looks like a wonderful dough you are making, but I can't tell if you are making pizza dough or pretzel dough. (I don't have sound on so maybe you say it). And I can't tell whether your machine in the video is a mixer or a food processor. It looks like a food processor but there are no instructions in the printed recipe for a food processor, just mixer or bread machine. If you have a chance I'd love your help, as I would really like to try this recipe. Thanks so much!

I can't believe it took me this many years to try making hot pockets at home. These are so tasty and easy. A family favorite now that I'm sure we'll be making on a regular basis! Yum!

OK my house loves hot pockets! I have never thought of this but it sounds so easy & fun to make. I am sure you could even do pepperoni and cheese. Awesome!

I was sold at the pretzel dough! A warm, stuffed pretzel sounds so good right now!

In reply to Kerry. Hi Kerry! Great question. Doubling recipes can be tricky at times. You should be able to double the dough for this recipe just fine though. So you would use 5 cups flour (all whole wheat, all all-purpose, or mixture of both) 1 teaspoon salt, 5 tsp yeast and 2 cups water. The process will remain the same. I hope you enjoy :)
