Steps:
- For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over 3 cups warm (not lukewarm) water. Let stand for a few minutes.
- In a mixer, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with a paddle attachment), drizzle in the olive oil until combined with the flour. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined and the dough comes together. (The dough will be sticky.) Form the dough into a ball.
- Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil and toss the dough in the olive oil to coat. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside for 1 hour to rise. Then put it in the fridge to chill for 2 hours or longer. (The dough is much easier to work with when very cold.)
- For the mushroom version: Add the olive oil to a pan with the heat on medium and saute the garlic and onions for about a minute. Add the mushrooms and thyme and saute for 3 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce for a couple of minutes until most of the liquid is gone. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool to room temperature.
- For the meat version: Crumble the Italian sausage into a skillet with some olive oil and brown until cooked through, 5 minutes. Let cool.
- When you are ready to make the pizza pockets, take half the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle. Cut into 18 rectangles with a rectangular cutter. Put 9 of the rectangles onto a baking sheet and top them with the fillings for the meat version: some marinara sauce, mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni and Canadian bacon. Lay the other 9 rectangles on top and crimp the edges with a fork. Brush with the beaten egg. Put into the freezer to flash-freeze for 30 minutes.
- Repeat with the other half of the dough and the fillings for the mushroom version: some mozzarella, goat cheese and the sauteed mushrooms.
- When the pockets have been flash-frozen, transfer to ziptop bags and store in the freezer.
- When ready to cook, place on a baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes.

PITA PIZZA POCKETS
A very yummy and kid-friendly lunch sandwich that can be as easy or as complex as you want it to be. I thought of it today on the way home from my son's preschool using the left over stuff I just happened to have in the house. My kids loved it and I could make it in just a little more time than it would have taken me to make them peanut butter and jelly (the usual lunch). I enjoyed it more than peanut butter and jelly too :-)

- Rework scraps, roll out, and cut out another two 6-inch circles for a total of 4 circles.
- Discard remaining scraps.
- Place the dough circles on the work surface.
- Spread each circle with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce to within 1/4 inch of the edge.
- Place 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese near the center of each circle.
- Top each with 1 tablespoon ricotta cheese and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon oregano.
- Dampen the edges of each circle with a little water.
- Fold circles in half, enclosing the cheese filling.
- Crimp the edges by pressing down with the tines of a fork along the edge.

- Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your pizza pockets taste better. Use a good quality pizza sauce, cheese that melts well, and your favorite toppings.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza pockets: If you put too much filling in your pizza pockets, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open while baking. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per pizza pocket.
- Seal the pizza pockets well: Use a fork to crimp the edges of the dough together or press them together with your fingers. Make sure the seal is tight so that the filling doesn't leak out.
- Bake the pizza pockets until they are golden brown: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your pizza pockets, but they should be baked for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the pizza pockets immediately: Pizza pockets are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can dip them in your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Pizza pockets are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick lunch or dinner. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a pizza pocket recipe that everyone will enjoy. So get creative and have fun making your own pizza pockets!
