I skipped the basil in the dough and we really liked it. I filled them with homemade roasted tomato sauce with veggies and then I added ham and cheese to 1/3, to another 1/3 poblano peppers and cheese and the last 1/3 with ground beef and cheddar cheese. I will be making these often because my boys have enjoyed them a lot in their lunches. Thank you for posting!

This was so fun to make! The dough turned out beautifully. I doubled the recipe & made the whole thing in my Kitchen Aid Mixer. I used part whole wheat, part white flour, rolled it out, & filled it with diced parmesan-pesto ham and shredded cheddar cheese. I used my circle-sandwich cutter to seal the pocket. Thanks!
