Homemade Pizza Pockets

In my quest to get my head back into the ‘back-to-school’ routine, I got a headstart on making a bunch of after-school snacks that can be frozen and reheated. Of course, I like them own lunch too! This time, I set about making my own homemade pizza pockets. Honestly, I was kinda impressed at how well they turned out. Nothing beats homemade, right? I am not that great of a baker. Just keeping it real here. It doesn’t come naturally to me, so I was worried about how well I could manage a good dough that is soft and has good flavor.

So I took my homemade pizza dough recipe and tweaked it a bit. Did you know that adding eggs to dough makes it softer? That’s why when you are making a pie crust, you just add oil or butter. That keeps it flaky and butter-y. But when you want a soft and fluffy-type of dough, you need to add eggs. So, of course, I went with my favorite Eggland’s Best eggs and didn’t use just one egg – I used two! I figured, if I was gonna go through all this trouble to make a homemade dough, I better add some nutrition to it. Good for the kiddos (and Momma too!)

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know Eggland’s Best eggs are the only eggs I use now. These aren’t your ordinary eggs. They stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs. They have double the Omega 3’s, 10x more Vitamin E, 25% less saturated fat, 5x more Vitamin D, and more Vitamin B12 and Lutein compared to ordinary eggs! It’s such an easy way to add healthy protein to our diets without any extra fuss. I’m adding nutrition in these pizza pockets and it tastes good!
