4. Ham and Cheese Pockets Recipe

These Ham and Cheese Pockets are created entirely from scratch! Great for lunch, snacks or picnics! They are so tasty and delectable that your entire family will fall in love with them!

Ingredients

For Dough

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
⅔ cup water (lukewarm)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter (unsalted, melted)
2 eggs

For Pockets

2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)

8 slices ham (sliced medium)
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
1 tablespoon parsley (dried, optional)

HOW TO MAKE IT

In a small dish, combine the yeast, sugar, and water and let aside for approximately 10 minutes, or until the yeast dissolves and begins to bubble.
In the bowl of your mixer add the flour, salt, butter, eggs and yeast mixture and beat for about 5 minutes. The dough must be pliable but not sticky. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour and continue mixing until the sides of the basin are clean. Put the dough in an oiled basin, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm location to rise until doubled in size. That should take around an hour.
Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay out the dough so that it’s about 14 inches by 18 inches and about 1/4 inch in thickness. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over half of the dough. Lay the ham slices over the cheese. Fold the dough over the filling and if you wish you may crimp the ends together, although not really essential.
Cut the dough into 8 pieces. Put the pockets on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush with egg wash. Sprinkle each slice with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Let the pockets settle and rise a bit, for approximately half hour.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
