09 - Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
10 - Allow pockets to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The protein count is legitimately impressive for something that tastes like comfort food
  • They reheat perfectly from frozen, making lazy weekdays feel like you meal-prepped like a pro
  • The dough comes together in minutes with ingredients you probably already have
02 -
  • Overfilling is the number one mistake; the sauce will burst through and create a mess in your oven
  • The dough feels sticky at first but keep kneading and it will smooth out beautifully
  • Fork-sealing the edges isnt just for looks; it keeps all that cheese inside where it belongs
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to divide the dough into 8 equal portions faster than measuring
  • If the dough tears while rolling, let it rest for 5 minutes and try again
