While mom is here we made 2 batches for the freezer. A Meat & Veggies and a Pastrami & Cheese
These take a couple of hours from start to finish to make, but they can be frozen and will a quick easy meal to have on hand
Make sure you use at least a 5qt bowl as it will make a huge batch of dough. I use my big Kitchen Aid mixer with the bowl lift. When making these I roughly get about 30-35 good size hot pockets out it.
Dough Ingredients:
9 cups flour
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
4 1/2 tsp. yeast
1 1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup water
1 tsp. salt
2 sticks melted butter
Put 9 cups flour in a large bowl, make a well in the center.
In a separate bowl beat 4 eggs, than add 1/2 cup sugar and 4 1/2 tsp. yeast.
In another bowl, scald 1 1/2 cups milk in microwave for 3 minutes. Then
add 1 1/2 cups water. Add this mixture to the egg mixture. Stir in 1
tsp. salt. Mix all ingredients well
Pour this mixture into the well of flour in the large bowl. Do not stir. Put lid on and let sit for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, add 2 sticks of melted butter and mix well.
Cover and let sit for 1 hour.

Now that your dough is made you are ready to make hot pockets.
This is what the dough looks like when it is ready
Here is a step by step with the Pastrami & Cheese
Ingredients are
Pastrami cubed up
Shredded Cheese
Ragu Cheese Sauce
Flour your surface you are going to use. I use a cutting board
Pull off the size of a base ball and roll in flour
Roll out and fill with ingredients. I make sure to put the sauce on top of all ingredients then put shredded cheese on top. This prevents to bottom from getting soggy
Fill onto one side so you can fold it over
Fold to one side to get ready for the oven
Bake for 20 min at 350 when done cool on rack then place in a quart freezer ziploc bag
