I’m a sucker for any type of homemade hot pocket, and these are right up my alley.
Ingredients
- 1/2lb Mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 6 Oz fully cooked Chicken Sausage links, thinly sliced
- 1/2lb Potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt & Black Pepper
- 1 package frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed and squeezed dry. (Can use fresh cooked Spinach.)
- 1 Cup Grated Cheddar or Gruyere cheese
- 1lb Pizza dough, room temperature.
- Flour to knead pizza dough on.
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 400F.
- On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the mushrooms, potatoes, and sausage with the oil and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Roast, tossing once, until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Let cool, transfer to a bowl, and fold in the spinach and Gruyère.
- Divide the dough into 6 pieces and, on a lightly floured surface, pull and roll each into a 6-inch round.
- Dividing evenly, spoon the spinach mixture onto one side of each round (about ⅔ cup per round), leaving a 1/2inch border.
- Dot the border with water, fold the dough over to form a semicircle, and press firmly to seal; crimp, if desired.
