Homemade Pizza Hot Pockets
What You’ll Need
Lavash Wrap:
Alex likes to use Lavash wraps as my “crust” for the hot pockets. She buys them at Trader Joe’s, but you can also buy them at Walmart! Lavash is a fully baked flatbread that is usually lower in sodium, less doughy and chewy, and generally contains less oil.
Garlic Butter:
To brush on the lavash wrap! More flavor!
Pizza Sauce:
Alex also likes the pizza sauce from Trader Joe’s, but you can use any marinara sauce you like! You could make a homemade sauce, or even use alfredo or BBQ sauce too!
Mozzarella Cheese:
With any pizza, you have to have shredded mozzarella cheese!
Toppings:
Toppings could be, but are not limited to, pepperoni, ham, sausage, bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, pineapple, fresh basil, olives, and parmesan cheese.
Olive Oil:
Alex likes to coat the outsides of the pizza hot pockets with a little olive oil. This helps make them crispy and golden on the outsides!
There isn’t really a recipe, more of a method! Once you have your desired sauces and toppings, you can layer them in the center of your lavash wrap and cook them up on the stove.
