Pizza pockets with ham, cheese, and olives are small stuffed pastries made with yeast dough, similar in shape to pierogi. After rising, the dough made with yogurt and oil is rolled out and cut into circles, then spread with ketchup, sprinkled with oregano, and topped with ham, cheese, and olives. The pockets are folded over, sealed along the edges with a fork, brushed with egg, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and baked at 200°C (400°F). You can vary the filling to taste, using salami or corn, for example.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Warm the milk, stir in the sugar and yeast, and let stand until foamy. Place the remaining dough ingredients in a bowl, add the yeast mixture, and knead into a dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise.

  2. Roll the risen dough into a thin sheet and cut out circles with a glass or cutter. Roll each circle a little thinner, spread with ketchup or tomato puree, sprinkle with oregano, and top with fillings of your choice, such as ham, salami, cheese, olives, or corn.

  3. Fold the circles in half and press the edges firmly with a fork to keep them from opening during baking.

  4. Transfer the pockets to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with oregano or seeds to taste. Bake at 200°C (400°F) until golden brown.

Tip: Mix the finely chopped ham, cheese, and olives in a bowl beforehand to distribute the filling evenly and keep the dough circles from tearing when folded.
