Instructions
Prep pastry dough
- Whisk together dry ingredients for pastry dough.
- Cut in butter with a pastry cutter, 2 knives, blender, or with your hands.
- Add sourdough starter and stir until a ball of dough forms. Knead 5-10 times to bring it together.
- Cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap and set it aside for 1 hour or several days in the fridge.
Making the hot pockets
- mix all filling ingredients in a large bowl.
- Lightly flour work surface and roll out half of the pastry dough. Roll it to about 1/8 inch thick. You need a large rectangle about 8" x 12".
- Cut the dough into 4 long, skinny rectangles and trim the edges to make them straight.
- Add a healthy helping of the filling into each rectangle, placing the filling closer to one end and leaving the other end of the pastry empty.
- Brush the edges with egg wash, fold the empty side of the dough over the top of the filling. Crimp the edges together with a fork to seal it shut.
- Brush the tops of each hot pocket with egg wash, arrange on baking sheet, and bake at 250℉ for about 25 minutes.
Notes
- These hot pockets freeze beautifully after baking.
- Let them cool completely before freezing.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the crispiest texture.
- Rotisserie chicken works well for a quick shortcut.
- Adjust spice level with mild or hot enchilada sauce.
- Dough can be made with active starter or sourdough discard.
