Pizza Pocket and Calzone Dough image

This dough is simple to make and has a slightly sweet taste. The kids love making their own pizza pockets, and I love using leftovers to make calzone type sandwiches. Make some up for dinner, or choose fillings that freeze well and you can make a bunch to have on hand for lunches and picnics. *Note: this is a sticky dough to aid in pinching the pockets closed. Adjust flour as needed to work with it. Mixing time: 15 minutes Rising time: 30 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-10 calzones, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 tablespoon warm water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Steps:

  • Mix yeast with warm water and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Mix lemon juice with milk and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and butter. Mix well.
  • Add the yeast and milk mixtures to the dry mixture. Knead well, then let rise in the bowl for 30 minutes (or longer) with a clean towel covering it.
  • Divide dough into 8-10 balls. Roll a ball out to about 1/8" thick, and about 6" diameter. *Sprinkle flour on your counter top and on your rolling pin to keep dough from sticking to the surfaces.*
  • Pizza - spread a spoonfull of sauce leaving the outer inch of dough oncovered. Add about 3 tbsp of pizza toppings (ie 1 tbsp cheese, 1 tbsp ham, 1 tbsp pineable) to the middle. Fold dough in half and pinch edges closed.
  • Other fillings - get creative with leftovers - anything that is freezable and bakable will be great!
  • Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
  • Let cool 5 minutes before serving, or cool completely then wrap individually in wax paper then freeze. Best if reheated in an oven, but can be heated in the microwave too.
