“Last night, we made two large batches of these sandwich pockets. One variety (the one I took lots of pictures of) included broccoli, fresh chives, and cheddar cheese. I also made some pockets using bell peppers and ricotta cheese.”

So… the broccoli and cheese version was pictured. The ricotta and pepper version isn’t.

Looks good! I’m going to make this during the week.

Every pizza shop I’ve ever been to offers it…I think of it as a very ordinary pizza item.

BUT, how about put a traditional recipe listing at the end – something more specific. Possibly something we could download/copy.

I look forward to trying these soon.

Thanks

Trent, could you put in the preparation for the recipe for the pockets with ricotta (mentioned as an ingredient in the other pockets).

Is it used or not or is it just an option (and how much)?

Clever. You can also brush crust with milk if you don’t have an egg. Trent would you please just give us clear, consise directions and not so frequently say, “We simply take ingredients….” I’m trusting you wish to write the recipes (some of which I like very much) and the column in as specific and uncluttered a format as is possible. “We simply this..” and “We simply that…” is getting tiresome. Use you passion for writing to explore different ways of putting your thoughts on paper / e communication. #1 ‘s suggestion of pre blanching the broccoli was a good idea.

It’s not hidden like making them drink V8, but there’s a lot of other texture and flavor for them to focus on.

How big is a small batch of pizza dough? enough for 1 12 in. crust or less?
