Description
Born from a half-marathon hunger and a Greek yogurt epiphany, these hot pockets are warm, cheesy, and surprisingly wholesome. They’re freezer-friendly, kid-approved, and hit that pizza spot without sidelining your goals. Think: soft, golden dough hugging melty cheese and zesty sauce—all in one tidy, high-protein bite.
Ingredients
-
410g low-fat Greek yogurt
-
400g all-purpose flour
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
1 tsp Italian seasoning
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
120g pizza sauce (15g per pocket)

160g low-fat cheese (20g per pocket)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
Mix dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, herbs, garlic, and salt. Stir in yogurt. Knead 2–3 mins until smooth.
-
Shape: Divide dough into 8 balls. Roll each into a 6-inch oval.
-
Fill: On half of each, add sauce and cheese. Leave a ½-inch border.
-
Fold & seal: Fold dough over, press edges firmly with a fork. Optional: dab water along edges before folding for a stronger seal.

Bake 18–20 mins until golden. Let rest 5 mins before serving.
Notes

Seal tightly to avoid cheese leaks.

Don’t overfill—less is more.
