Expert Tips

These pizza pockets are particularly good for kids who have access to microwave ovens at school (like many high schoolers do). In order to keep the sandwiches safe until lunchtime, place frozen sandwiches in an insulated lunch bag with frozen ice packs. To reheat, remove sandwich from plastic wrap, and wrap in paper towel. Microwave 30 to 45 seconds or until hot in center (filling will be hot). Microwaves vary; sandwiches may take more or less time than indicated to become hot in center.
It’s essential that the dough is rolled thin before using; that way, the pocket isn’t overwhelmed by a thick exterior.
