Stuffed Pockets




INGREDIENTS

1 lb bread dough, fresh
1/2 cup broccoli, chopped, frozen, thawed
1/2 cup ricotta, part-skim
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, part-skim
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
1/2 cup Canadian bacon, diced


PREPRATION

1. Heat oven to 400 F. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll or pat each piece on floured surface into 8 x 6-inch ovals. If dough is too hard to work, let rest 5 minutes.

2. Squeeze out excess liquid from broccoli. Place in bowl, along with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, pepper sauce and Canadian bacon; stir to combine.

3. Spoon filling lengthwise down center of each piece of dough. Fold dough over to cover filling, pressing edges together to seal. Place on prepared baking sheets. Cut 2 slits in top of each to vent steam.

4. Bake in 400 F oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
