Gluten free hot pockets made with a perfect and surprisingly easy 3 ingredients pizza dough recipe!
Featuring: easy gluten free yoghurt pizza dough
–
If you’ve seen any of my latest posts, you might have noticed a yoghurt pizza dough obsession developing at an exponential rate… haha
Just like my recent gluten free Chinese crispy duck streak, I seem to have diverted into a world of yoghurt pizza dough and just pizza flavoured everything in general. But it’s not my fault, this yoghurt pizza dough recipe is just so good and it being the simplest recipe of all makes the combination incredibly addictive. π
So after making it into a pizza {recipe here} and baked gluten pizza dough balls {recipe here}, it all made sense… I had to upgrade from my gluten free hot pocket arepasΒ {recipe here} and try my hand at a proper gluten free hot pockets alternative!
It’s not that big of a deal here in the UK, but back where I’m from (in Canada), I’m sure I’m not the only one who remembers McCain’s pizza pockets as a fond childhood memory. This type of frozen fast food was a rarity in my parents’ freezer – and I bet if I were to eat these now, I’d think they taste like a microwave monstrosity! lol – but as a kid, they were awesome! They always felt like a yummy naughty snack when staying at friends and other family members so I felt like recreating a gluten free (and quite possibly much tastier) homemade version.
And once again this yoghurt dough lived up to all expectation. π
The result was great and perfect for hot pockets; such a soft, moist dough that holds together very well at the same time. None of that dry, delicate and crumbly texture gluten free baked products can have sometimes. You can pick these pockets up comfortably without any hassle and fear of them falling apart.

Cooking time:Β 15-20 mins

For the filling:

Directions
Enjoy!
hey just a tip, try healing your gut by drinking kombucha and 2-3 times, drink cider vinegar organic version.
also drink broth.
i would even try fasting for 2 days by drinking broth. wont have that empty feeling in the morning.
thats what i used to have.
Thats what i feel if i eat take out pizza.. this uggh feel in the morning. pesky gluten and the gut isnt in good order, so this happens.
I’ve been gluten free for many years due to Coeliac Disease so my health/gut is in pretty good shape now. I do like like all these things though, especially bone broth. I make big batches from time to time. π
Just to prove that I immediately came here! ?
Also I’m pretty sure McCains pizza pockets were a thing in the UK too in the 90s. My mum never bought frozen or convenience food and I was always jealous of my friends and their pop tarts and McCains microwave chips ?
These pizza pockets look great for school and work snacks! Think I’ll have a go and make them dairy free too xx
Aww thanks, let me know what you think if you try them! And I know the feeling, although in retrospect I suppose we’re lucky we had parents who raised us eating good homemade food. I had never actually heard of those microwave chips until I moved to the UK and was shocked, but I can see the appeal. ?
I made these for my son’s lunches. I found the dough very hard to work with and even more so when I added water to my hands. It was more manageable after I used more gluten free flour for dusting. And before I put them in the oven I basted them with some garlic butter and when they came out a little more garlic butter. My son really enjoyed them. I’m going to do hot pocket sandwiches without pizza sauce for this week. See how it goes.
Can these be frozen and re-heated later in the microwave like the Mccain’s pizza pockets?
These turned out really good! I used the GF flour mix recipe from America’s Test Kitchen and just added baking powder and salt to make it self-rising. My dough was super sticky, though, so I had to add more flour to get it workable. But it turned out great. With Classico Four Cheese spaghetti sauce, ham and pineapple, it tasted just like Pilsbury Pizza Pops! Thanks for the recipe. It’s a keeper. π
