Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled sausage
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dough Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups (281 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt
- 1 teaspoon (3 grams) instant yeast
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) warm milk
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) warm water
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter (softened)
Instructions
- Blend flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a unified dry mixture.
- Whisk warm milk, warm water, and softened butter in a separate container, then integrate with the dry ingredients to form a cohesive dough.
- Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead methodically until achieving a silky texture, approximately 5-7 minutes. Allow dough to rest and expand in a warm environment for 60 minutes.
- Sauté eggs in a skillet over medium heat, scrambling thoroughly until completely cooked. Set aside to cool momentarily.
- Craft the filling by combining scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage, shredded cheddar, diced bell peppers, and onions. Season with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor profile.
- Configure oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking surface.
- Deflate risen dough and partition into 8 uniform segments. Roll each piece into rectangular shapes.
- Distribute filling across one half of each dough rectangle, maintaining a clear border. Fold dough over filling and firmly seal edges.
- Arrange hot pockets on prepared baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until achieving a golden-brown exterior.
- Permit hot pockets to cool slightly before serving to prevent potential burns and allow filling to stabilize.
Notes
- Customize the filling by swapping sausage with bacon, ham, or vegetarian alternatives like tofu or plant-based protein for dietary preferences.
- Add extra vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini to boost nutritional value and create more complex flavor profiles.
- Freeze assembled hot pockets before baking for quick future breakfasts – simply add 5-7 minutes to baking time when cooking from frozen state.
- Enhance dough’s texture by brushing beaten egg wash on top before baking, creating a glossy and golden-brown exterior with slight crispness.
