CHEESE AND HAM POCKETS
Kids really seem to like this and even the little ones can make it themselves. Adults may find this rather plain and need to spice it up. Serve with hot tomato soup ;)

HAM AND CHEESE KOLACHE POCKETS
** Based on Sylvia's Kolache Dough (#238688) ** This is how I "copy" the ham & cheese kolaches that a local Houston bakery makes and my kids love! The dough comes from #238688. These make great breakfast sandwiches, lunches or anytime snacks. They keep for about 1 week in the fridge once cooked! These take a while to do (plan an evening!) but taste great and the kids love them!

Steps:
- Prepare 1 batch of Sylvia's Kolache Dough (#238688) per directions through step 9. (Note that I use my countertop mixer with the dough hook rather than mixing by hand and usually need about 6 1/2 cups of flour vs. the 6 that Sylvia calls for).
- Divide the dough into 12 equal parts.
- Roll into round balls and then one at a time:.
- Roll out each dough ball into an oval about 8" x 6".
- Layer 3 slices of deli ham and 1/3 cup of shredded cheddar in the middle of the oval.
- Bring the long ends up and together on top of the cheese (make sure to wrap it up!). Pinch the dough together to seal.
- Bring the short ends up and together on top of the 1st layer of dough. Pinch the dough together to seal.
- With your hands, roll each dough pocket around to smooth the seams and shape into a 4"x3" pocket (about 1 1/2 inches thick).
- Arrange on a greased baking tray.
- Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees until done.
- Eat hot (very!) or allow to cool completely and store in the fridge. (Note: Let the pockets cool before putting them in bags - otherwise the moisture will condense in the plastic bag and make the dough a bit soggy).

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!
TURKEY CHEESE POCKETS (OR HAM AND CHEESE POCKETS)
These are so easy to make for a quick hot lunch and taste so much better then the pockets you can buy in the store. You can also use jarred pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese to make pizza pockets as well.

HAM AND CHEESE POCKETS
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 a variety of cheeses to create different flavor combinations. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
- If you don't have any deli ham, you can use cooked bacon or sausage instead.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your pockets, such as sliced mushrooms, onions, or peppers.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-made crescent roll dough instead of making your own.
- To make sure your pockets are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, they're done.
