Recipe Stuffed Crust Ham and Cheese Pockets

Ingredients :

• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Real butter cut into chunks (salted or not whatever you prefer)
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/2 cup iced water
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup any other cheese you love. I used sharp cheddar today
• 1 to 2 cups of cubed ham
• 3 tbsp melted butter for brushing crust

Method :

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. For the crust: mix salt, garlic powder and flour.
3. Add butter and shortening and mix until crumbly. (I use my hands)
4. Carefully add the iced water (but not the ice) a little at a time until dough is soft but not sticky
5. Separate dough into 6 equal parts. And on a floured surface, roll each into about 1/4 inch thick circle.
6. Place ham and cheeses in center of dough, leaving about an inch of dough all the way around.
7. Carefully fold in half. Press edges together, then place a small amount of mozzarella on the edge.
8. Fold over and gently pinch the dough with damp fingers to seal.
9. Brush pastries with butter and bake until golden brown. About 15 to 20 minutes.
10. Let rest before serving for 10 minutes.
