Best My Homemade Italian Hot Pockets Recipes
BEST PANZEROTTI RECIPE
Easy Panzerotti (or Panzarotti) is an Italian savory turnover like a mini pizza pocket and it's super easy to make at home! A pizza dough crust is filled with all the classic toppings - pepperoni, cheese, and your choice of sauce. These semi-circular pockets are then baked or deep-fried to golden perfection. If this sounds like something you might like (how can it not?), check out this authentic recipe.

Steps:
- Whisk together yeast, sugar and warm water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix together flour and salt. Add oil, yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough just begins to come together. Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
- While the dough is rising, you can make the panzerotti filling.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together tomatoes, cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- After the dough is ready, divide it into 6 pieces.
- Press down the ball with your palm. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of filling and 3-4 pepperoni to each piece.
- Brush the edges of the dough with water and fold the dough to create a semi-circle.
- Pinch the edges to seal the pocket. Repeat the process for the rest of the dough.
- Pour oil (about 1 inch) into a deep skillet and heat the oil to 350°.
- Once hot, add a few panzerotti pockets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning every minute until both sides are golden brown. (Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.)
- Use a slotted spoon to remove panzerotti and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve and enjoy!

HOMEMADE HOT POCKETS
I've always loved Hot Pockets. Once I figured out how easy these were to make at home, I quit buying the ones from the store! You can sub any ingredients you would like to. I've made them as a "hand-held" taco, pizza, and buffalo chicken. You can also change the size you cut them, too. The larger they are, the easier they are to stuff! The recipe is the basic crust recipe. You may want to add seasonings based on the kind of Hot Pocket you're going for: Garlic and Onion powder and Italian seasoning for pizza; cumin or taco seasoning for tacos; you can even make this a dessert by adding some sugar into the dough before you stuff it!

Steps:
- Add flour, shortening and salt to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles sand.
- With the machine on, slowly add the water in a thin stream until the dough forms a ball (you may not need the entire cup of water - I usually go until my food processor blade won't spin anymore).
- On a lightly-floured surface, form the dough into two equal rounds.
- Place the rounds in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes.
- Beat the egg with one teaspoon of water. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- On the floured surface, cut the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Roll out into a thin round (not so thin it will tear; about 1/8" thick or so). Trim into a 6" round (I use a salad bowl as a guide, placing it on top and running a knife around the edge).
- Repeat with all of the dough. Any scraps I usually make some more.
- Place ingredients of your choice in the middle, leaving room for sealing the dough around the edge. Some ideas:.
- Taco - seasoned taco meat, topped with cheddar cheese.
- Pizza - pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni.
- Once you place the stuffing into the middle, brush the egg wash around the edges. Fold over (making a half-moon) and pinch the opening. Place onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Repeat with remaining rounds.
- Brush all of the hot pockets with the remaining egg wash.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

MY HOMEMADE ITALIAN HOT POCKETS
These are better than any store bought hot pockets. You can control what you want to put in and make them the way you like. I freeze them and then just grab one out and microwave it. Yum
