Hot pockets, calzones whatever you call them, they are delicious! Make ahead and freeze so when you get a craving, just heat and serve. Can be filled with any and everything your hearts desire. Fun for kids to help make. Better than store bought because you know exactly what are in them :)

  3. 3

    In another bowl, add 3 cups all purpose flour, salt and herbs if using.

  4. 4

    When yeast has bloomed add flour mixture and olive oil. Mix until well combined.

  5. 5

    If using stand mixer use dough hook. Bread machine jusr use dough or pizza setting.

  6. 6

    If kneading by hand, lightly flour surface and knead dough until smooth and elastic. About 6-10 minutes. Add flour little at a time if it gets sticky.

  7. 7

    Once the dough ball is smooth and elastic, place a few drops of olive oil i a bowl. Turn dough around coating all sides. Cover with towel or plastic wrap.

    I cut mine into 4 sections which makes a good size calzone. But you can make as big or small as you like.

  11. 11

    Flatten and roll your dough into a round pizza shape.

  12. 12

    Place cheese and your filling on half of the dough leaving room around edges to seal.

  13. 13

    Fold dough over filling like a half moon shape. Press and stretch edges to seal.

  14. 14

    You can also use tines of fork to seal edges.

  15. 15

    Brush calzones with egg wash or olive oil.

  16. 16

    Bake at 400 degrees until golden brown.
