Hidden Treasures Ranch Pockets Recipe

For dough, in a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water.

Add sugar, egg, salt and 1 cup flour; beat on low for 3 minutes.

Add enough remaining flour to form soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.

Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, for filling, brown pork in a large pot over medium heat.

Add dressing mix; stir to coat meat.

Stir in veggies.

Continue to cook until veggies are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface.

Divide into four portions; roll each portion into an 8-inch square.

Cut each large square into four 4-inch squares.

Place about 3 tbs. of filling in the center of each square; bring the corners up over the filling and pinch to seal.

Secure with a toothpick if needed.

Place 3 inches apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bake pockets for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from pans, discard toothpicks. Brush each pocket with melted butter. Serve hot.
