High Protein Pepperoni Pizza Hot Pockets by Nikita Fair

Ingredients

• 200g High-protein flour blend
• 50g Whey protein isolate
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 150g Plain Greek yogurt
• 100g Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 50g Pepperoni slices
• 2 tbsp Pizza sauce
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• Pinch Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine the high-protein flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix well.
2. Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix with your hands until a cohesive dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 3-5 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
4. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
5. Roll out each dough ball very thinly into a rectangular shape, about 6x4 inches.
6. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of pizza sauce on one half of each dough rectangle, leaving a small border. Top with shredded mozzarella, a few pepperoni slices, and a pinch of oregano and red pepper flakes.
7. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges firmly to seal, creating a rectangular hot pocket. Crimp with a fork if needed.
8. Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Cook the hot pockets for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed up.
