Instructions

To make dough in bread machine:

  • Add ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed and run on the dough cycle.

To make dough by hand:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water.
  • Stir in salt, sugar, and dry milk.
  • Add flour and stir until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Dump dough onto a floured surface and knead for around 5 minutes, until a soft dough forms.
  • Add a little more flour, if needed.

To make Ham & Cheese Pockets:

  • Divide dough into 18 balls.
  • Roll each ball into a rectangle.
  • Put ham and cheese on half of the rectangle.
  • Fold dough over and pinch sides to seal tightly.
  • Bake pockets on a greased cookie sheet at 350º for 15-18 minutes, until lightly browned.
