Steps

1

Making dough
2

In a mixing bowl add flour,salt, sugar, baking soda and baking powder.
Mix very well
3

Add olive oil and lemon juice.
Add water in parts.
Begin to mix and then knead the dough.
Keep on kneading till you get a soft and smooth dough. Add water in parts. I added ½ cup+ 2 tablespoons water.
You have to really knead very well. Knead at least for 10 to 12 minutes.
The dough should become elastic and stretchable. Take a portion and stretch it. The dough should not break.
4

Rub some olive oil all over the dough and keep covered in a bowl. Allow the dough to rest for 2 to 3 hours.
Punch one of your fingers in the dough and the depression should give away.
Again knead the dough lightly before using it.
You can also freeze the pizza dough and it will stay good for a couple of months.

Making pocket
6

Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet
Roll out one ball of pizza dough on a lightly floured surface.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Let rest 3 minutes, then stretch the dough out again. It should be between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick.
7

Add 1 tablespoon sauce, 2 tablespoons cheese, and 2 tablespoons total desired toppings to each base.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket, and press the edges together. Use the prongs of a fork to seal.
8

Brush each crust with olive oil.
Place on a baking sheet, with about 1/2 inch between space. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes on the pan before serving.
