Preparation Instructions
Mix the dough ingredients; let rise in a greased clean bowl for 1 hour.
While dough is rising, prepare the filling. Chop the mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper and saute for 5–10 minutes. Season with Italian seasoning, parsley and basil.
Mix pizza sauce, spinach, cheese, and sauteed vegetables together.
Form dough into a log, divide into 18 equal pieces. Using a rolling pin, shape each piece into an oval.
Place about 1/4 cup of the filling in the lower half of the dough, fold the dough over in half. Allow room around the edges to seal. Using fingers, pinch dough together to seal all edges.
Place pocket on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet and, with a pastry brush, brush dough with egg white wash (egg white and water whisked together).
Bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven, cool and enjoy!
