Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425 F.
-
Make Low Carb Pizza dough (1), and lay it between 2 sheets of parchment.
-
Roll the dough into a long rectangle that’s around 10″ x 16″ and 1/2″ thick. Don’t worry if the edges aren’t pretty!
-
Cut the dough into thirds (that are 10″ long) using a pizza cutter.
-
If your filling contains meat or eggs, cook those.
-
Layer filling into one half of the dough, leaving 1″ on each side, so you can press the dough closed. I like to add the cheese last!
-
Fold the empty dough over the top of the fillings.
-
Use damp hands to pinch the dough around the edges to close the pocket. Use the pizza cutter to cut a clean edge around the hot pocket.
-
Brush the tops of your hot pockets with oil, or a scrambled egg.
-
Pop in the oven, and bake 22-25 minutes, or until the tops becomes golden brown.
-
Allow hot pockets to cool slightly before slicing, and enjoy!
