So that I can make yummy pizza in my kitchen. Yes, I make the pizza dough from scratch as I dislike store bought pizza doughs. Good thing is that pizza dough can be made from scratch effortlessly. I&#8217;ve a trustworthy recipe for making the pizza dough and have been following that recipe over the years. If you browse through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/category\/recipes\/by-category\/pizza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pizzas <\/a>that I&#8217;d made before you will see that I&#8217;ve been using the same recipe for making the dough, but different topping. So, even this time I made the same pizza dough and the topping was Kerala style chicken roast.<\/p>\n<p>I always make pizza dough with all purpose flour, so this time I wanted to try making the dough with wheat flour as well. In fact, I&#8217;d made 2 pizza doughs: one with all purpose flour and another with wheat flour. I made pizza with the all purpose flour dough and gave the whole pizza to my Man. I was about to make the second pizza with the wheat flour dough, that&#8217;s when the idea of making pizza pockets hit my mind. That&#8217;s one heck of an idea and I couldn&#8217;t disagree with it. So, made pizza pockets and stuffed it with the chicken topping that I used for topping the pizza.<\/p>\n<p>I turned the wheat flour pizza dough into pockets, stuffed with chicken filling, gave an egg wash and popped it in the oven. I had no idea how it was going to turn out, kept my fingers crossed and waited eagerly for 15 minutes. When I took it out of the oven, the puffed up pizza pockets put a huge smile on my face. It looked great and I was sure that it&#8217;s going to taste great too. I wasn&#8217;t wrong, it did taste yummy.<\/p>\n<p>I really loved the texture and the taste of the wheat flour dough and it&#8217;s more healthy than the white flour. You could use any kind of fillings to stuff the pizza pockets.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17665\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/pizza-pockets-with-chicken-stuffing.jpg\" alt=\"pizza pockets with chicken stuffing\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/pizza-pockets-with-chicken-stuffing.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/pizza-pockets-with-chicken-stuffing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/pizza-pockets-with-chicken-stuffing-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-17660 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/pizza-pockets-with-chicken-filling-wheat-flour-pizza-pockets\/chicken-stuffing-3\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/chicken-stuffing-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17666\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17666'>\n\t\t\t\tChicken filling\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/pizza-pockets-with-chicken-filling-wheat-flour-pizza-pockets\/pizza-dough-4\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/pizza-dough-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17670\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17670'>\n\t\t\t\tWheat flour dough made into round shape\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/pizza-pockets-with-chicken-filling-wheat-flour-pizza-pockets\/stuffing-pizza-pockets\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/stuffing-pizza-pockets-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17671\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17671'>\n\t\t\t\tPlace filling on the dough\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/pizza-pockets-with-chicken-filling-wheat-flour-pizza-pockets\/making-pizza-pockets\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/making-pizza-pockets-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17668\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17668'>\n\t\t\t\tMake into half-moon shape\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/pizza-pockets-with-chicken-filling-wheat-flour-pizza-pockets\/egg-wash-pizza-pockets\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/egg-wash-pizza-pockets-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17667\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17667'>\n\t\t\t\tEgg wash\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Pizza-pockets1.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Pizza Pockets with Chicken Filling &#8211;
