# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly to mix.
03 - Add Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.

09 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
10 - Allow pockets to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • High Protein: Each pocket contains 25g of protein to keep you full and satisfied.
  • Easy to Prepare: The dough requires no yeast and minimal kneading time.
  • Versatile: Perfectly adaptable for vegetarians or those needing nut-free options.
  • Low Fat: Uses low-fat Greek yogurt and cheese for a lighter alternative to traditional hot pockets.
02 -
  • Freezing: These pockets freeze exceptionally well. Wrap them individually once cooled.
  • Reheating: For the best texture, reheat frozen or chilled pockets in an oven or toaster oven until heated through and the crust is crisp.
  • Sealing: If the dough is too dry to seal, lightly dampen your fingers or the fork with water to ensure the edges stay closed during baking.
