Homemade Hot Pockets

  Dough:
    1 tablespoon yeast
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1 cup warm water
    2 tablespoons oil
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 3/4 to 3 1/4 cups flour

  Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar. Let it set for a few
 minutes until foamy (if you're using fast-rise yeast, you can just
 add the yeast with the flour and go on). Then stir in oil, salt, and
 flour. Knead 5 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes.

  Divide dough into 6 pieces. Roll and pat each piece into a circle
 (about 6-inches across or so). Top half of each circle with filling
 of choice, keeping back from edges so it will seal well. Fold the
 other 1/2 of circle over the filling and pinch sides together or seal
 with a fork. Poke a couple steam vents and bake for 20 minutes at
 375F.

  For pizza pockets, fill this with a little pizza sauce, then
 mushrooms, pepperoni, cheese, etc. Also, try with cream soup, chopped
 cooked chicken and steamed broccoli and some shredded cheese. Use
 your leftovers and imagination to create something special!
