This recipe is brought to you in partnership with Red Star Yeast. Will you just look at these?! Homemade pizza dough + ham & cheese = handheld bliss! You may have grown up eating microwaved hot pocket snacks. Though I really don’t buy them anymore, I’m not ashamed to say that I loved them. (And still do!) A few years ago, I actually started I making my own using homemade dough. You can freeze them, microwave them, eat them on the go, etc. And, the best part of all, you can definitely taste the homemade difference!

Here’s what you’ll need to make the dough: Though the warm ham & melty cheese filling is fantastic, the crust is the best part. This bread tastes phenomenal!
