Place a tbsp od filling and carefully close the dough by sticking the edges togetherMake sure filling is thoroughly covered with dough for easy cooking:1. Keep the filling in the center of the dough, so the edges stick well!2. Do NOT leave holes in the dough!3. Before submerging them into oil, rest for 1-2 minutes. Any small holes will then become visible. Fix them before submerging in the oil!COOKINGOnce the oil is bubbling around the dough, submerge the pizza pockets slowly into it. Make sure each one has enough space in the oil. They will double in size and flip in the oil as they cook. (!) Do not leave the pan unattended while the pizza pockets are cooking.Place the golden-brown pockets on to the paper towel to drain excess oil. Continuously add new uncooked pizza pockets into the pan to maintain the heat of the oil. Empty pan means very hot oil! Your pockets might burn or hot oil may splatter dangerously!Once the cooking is completed, transfer the pockets on to a serving plate and serve fresh.SERVINGA glass of hot Turkish tea is one of my favourites for breakfast.Stuffed or plain fried pizza pockets were the treats of family breakfasts, especially on the cherished weekends of my childhood!Crispy, soft, and juicy;These pockets make your morning peerless!Some like them as is, some add feta, olive, or jam to enrich every bite!I strongly recommend this very easy and tasty journey with your family.Enjoy playing around with the dough for delicious new discoveries!Simple and cozy!Malzemeler:1 paket pizza hamuru (ya da ekmek hamuru) iin:300 g dana kymas1 kk soan2 ay ka tuz1 ay ka karabiberkzartmak iin:3 su barda ince bitkisel ya#theprancinghare #turkishfood #pizzapockets #easybreakfastrecipe #breaddough #pizzadough @FAIRIESCUISINE #homemade
