Ham and Cheese Pizza Pockets

Ham and Cheese Pizza Pockets



Ingredients
2 3/4 cup bread flour

1 cup plain flour

1 Tbsp. milk powder

1 tsp. bread improver
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. bread softener
12g instant yeast sachet

1/4 cup sugar

1 egg
1/3 cup Melted butter
100 ml Butter Milk

250ml cold water

Egg washes (one egg and milk)
Sesame seeds for sprinkle on top

Fillings

Sandwich Ham cut into small squares

Cheese slices

Hand knead: Dissolve the yeast from the portion of water; approx 60ml of water. (Pre warm water slightly in micro). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Combine all dry ingredients first and wet ingredients in two separate bowls. Add in wet ingredients into dry ingredient bowls and knead it into dough. Cover and leave to double in size for 30-45 minutes.

Bread Machine: Set machine in dough mode and put all ingredients into the machine. Take note that butter is cool before placing into machine. Let the machine do the work.

After double in size/ (bread machine beep), remove and punch the dough on a floured surface. Cut into 75g dough pieces. Roll out each dough into a round shape and put ham and shredded cheese (I use cheddar) in the middle. Pinch up the sides and roll into a ball. Place on baking trays lined with baking paper. Cover and let it double in size in a warm environment for 45minutes. Egg washes the buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a 190 c oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving or putting in cake tin.

Note: I have a small family. As this recipe will yield good 16 or so buns. I freeze those extras in the freezer. This has to be done right after; when the buns are completely at room temperature and I packed them in freezer bags. When needed, I simply remove and heated up in the microwave oven. Reheat will be better using conventional micro.
