I have made these a few times now and Ben loves them!! Gwen likes them too and they are great to freeze either uncooked or cooked to warm up for a fast lunch. I have frozen them cooked and then warmed them in the microwave. By the way, I know the dough has a bit of butter in there... but it makes a LOT of dough. You can vary your fillings and be creative. I got this recipe from this website.
Crust:
3 1/2 C whole wheat flour (I've been using whole white wheat flour recently... still whole wheat... just a different variety and it is a lighter flour and less of a "whole wheat" taste- wonderful) You can get this flour in health food stores. I got mine at Whole Foods Market.
1 t. sea salt
1 C melted butter
1 C plain yogurt
Stir it all up and I let my dough rest in the fridge for 10 minutes or so because if it gets warm it's hard to handle.
Pizza Sauce- you can used jarred spaghetti sauce (what I used last night) or I have tried this sauce too and it is good also.
1 1/2 C tomato sauce
1/2 t. garlic powder
1 1/2 t. oregano
1 1/2 t. basil (I put in some of my fresh basil and it was GOOD)
Stir and simmer for a few min.
I get a fourth of the dough out at a time. I let the rest sit in the fridge. I roll out the dough on a floured surface and use a large coffee cup to cut the circles so the pockets are relatively the same size. I roll out the circle and then put in the fillings. I like to put diced chicken, mozarella, peppers if I have them and sauce of course...but you can make them any way you like. Then fold over and seal with your fingers and then use a fork to seal it completely. If the fork sticks to the dough, put the fork in flour.
If you freeze them uncooked, then put on a cookie sheet at this point and freeze them. Pop them off after an hour and stick in a bag. OR... cook them.
If frozen: 400 degree oven for 30 min.
If thawed: 400 degrees for 20 min
I prefer to cook them and then freeze them after they cool completely.
