Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 410g low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 400g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Filling Ingredients

  • 120g pizza sauce (15g per pocket)
  • 160g low-fat cheese (20g per pocket)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt, then knead the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until a smooth and elastic dough forms.
  3. Shape Dough Balls: Divide the prepared dough evenly into 8 portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a 6-inch oval shape.
  4. Fill Pockets: On one half of each oval, spread approximately 15g of pizza sauce and sprinkle 20g of low-fat cheese, leaving a ½-inch border around the edge for sealing.
  5. Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the dough over the filling to meet the edges. Press the edges firmly together using a fork to seal. For a stronger seal, dab water along the edges before folding.
  6. Bake: Place the sealed pockets on the lined baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove the hot pockets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to cool slightly before serving. This allows the cheese filling to set and prevents burns.

Notes

  • Make sure to knead the dough well to develop a smooth texture for easier rolling and better crust.
  • You can customize the filling by adding veggies or cooked lean meats for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • If you want a crisper crust, brush the pockets lightly with olive oil before baking.
  • Leftover hot pockets can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
  • To ensure the pockets don’t open during baking, sealing the edges tightly is essential; using water along the edges helps.
