Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 recipe homemade pizza dough (or store bought dough)
  • 1 pound ham (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 pound colby jack cheese slices
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper that can tolerate heat up to 450 degrees.
  • Divide the pizza dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into about an 8-inch oval.
  • Place 1 slice of cheese in the middle of each oval. Place 3-4 slices of the thinly sliced ham on each slice of the cheese.
  • Fold the dough over, creating a crescent shape. Using your fingers or the prongs of a fork, tightly seal the edges of the "hot pocket."
  • Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush each hot pocket evenly with the egg wash. Cut 2-3 slits on top of each hot pocket to let steam escape while baking. 
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until the hot pocket is nicely golden brown.
  • Serve warm or cool and store.
