100 g button mushrooms, thinly sliced

capsicum, finely diced

100 g ham, diced

spanish onion

140 g packet pizza sauce

2 cups grated cheese

1 cup lukewarm water

2 tsp dried yeast

1 tsp sugar

3 cups plain flour

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp milk

1

Preheat the oven to 200℃ and line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.

2

Prepare the dough by combining the water, sugar and yeast in a small bowl. Set aside for 2-3 minutes while the yeast activates. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.

3

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the large bowl and stir until just combined.

4

Remove the dough from the bowl and knead for 2 minutes on a lightly floured surface. Shape into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for an hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

5

In the meantime, combine the mushrooms, capsicum, ham and onion in a bowl.

6

Divide dough into approximately 12 rounds. Using a rolling pin, roll each round out on a lightly floured surface to 5mm thickness.

7

Place pizza sauce in the centre of each round, leaving a 1cm margin around the edges. Add the pizza toppings and cheese then form a ball and pinch the edges of the dough together at the bottom of the pizza pocket to secure the toppings.

8

Place each pizza pocket, bottom side down on the prepared tray. Use a pastry brush to glaze each pizza pocket with milk.

9

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
