Homemade Pizza Pockets

It was still too windy and cool outside to use our pizza box solar oven that we made yesterday.  So, we decided to make some pizza pockets for dinner tonight.

Baxter helped measure the ingredients into the mixer.  He really enjoyed watching the mixer go round and round.

Once it came together as a soft dough we took it out and I showed Baxter how to kneed it so it was a smooth stretchy dough.  We then let it rest for 15 minutes to proof (expand).  We rolled it out really thin...

and then McKayla came to help cut 3 inch circles out.  We needed 24 circles, 12 for the bottoms and 12 for the tops.

We added pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese to the 12 bottom rounds.

Finally, McKayla brushed an egg wash along the edges and put the top circles on.  The edges were crimped with a fork and I put them in the oven for 20 minutes.

Baxter wanted to try one right away but I made him wait until they were cool so he wouldn't burn his mouth.
