High Protein Pizza Hot Pockets (Print Version)

Gooey cheese and pizza sauce nestled in a protein-packed Greek yogurt dough. Ready in 40 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1 tbsp baking powder
04 - 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1 tsp salt

→ Filling

07 - 8 tbsp pizza sauce
08 - 8 slices low-fat mozzarella cheese

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until well incorporated.
03 - Add Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
04 - Transfer dough to a floured surface. Knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
05 - Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval approximately 6 inches long.
06 - Place 1 tbsp pizza sauce and 1 slice cheese on one half of each oval, leaving a ½-inch border around edges.
07 - Fold dough over filling to create a pocket. Seal edges firmly with a fork, applying a small amount of water if needed for better adhesion.
08 - Place sealed pockets on the prepared baking tray, ensuring adequate space between each piece.
09 - Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crisp throughout.
10 - Allow pockets to cool for 5 minutes before serving to prevent burns from hot filling.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • You get that nostalgic hot pocket experience without the processed aftertaste or mysterious ingredients
  • The dough comes together in literally five minutes with ingredients you probably have right now
  • Each pocket packs 25 grams of protein while still feeling like comfort food
02 -
  • Do not overfill these pockets or they will burst open in the oven and you will lose all that cheese
  • The dough feels sticky when you first start kneading but keep going, it smooths out
  • Let them cool for at least 5 minutes or the filling will be molten lava hot
03 -
  • If the dough feels too sticky to work with, dust your hands and surface with extra flour
  • Use a pizza cutter to divide the dough if you want perfectly equal portions
