Homemade Hot Pockets

These are really, really hard to make, but so worth it. Ready? First, take your favorite roll recipe, pinch off about a walnut sized piece of dough and roll it out. Then, fill it!
There is stuff there to make pizza hot pockets, turkey and cheese, basically, these are made when we have a ton of leftovers that there is not enough left of to make a meal from for us. These are everything but the kitchen sink. But don't put all your leftovers into a hot pocket unless you like a turkey/taco/egg/cheese/pizza/veggie hot pocket.
That is it. Fill them up, bake at around 350 until the dough is lightly browned. Oh, and if you are making several different kinds, like I usually do, have marks on the tops so you know what is inside. P for pizza, B for breakfast, etc. (Eggs, cheese and turkey bacon are awesome!)

These freeze really well. Well, just as long as you DO NOT USE Rhoades brand of dough. I did. ONCE. The dough wasn't thick enough. When we went to heat some up in the microwave, the dough almost seemed to turn doughy again. They were really soggy.  Even if you make the dough in your breadmaker, it will still turn out well.

Just watch out for little fingers that reach up for some dough. (Anyone else's kids eat bread dough by the handful?)
