Alabama Hot Pockets Recipe
Hey y’all! Today, we’re bringing some serious flavor to the kitchen with this homemade Alabama Hot Pockets recipe. You’ve probably seen those frozen versions at the store-but once you try this easy, from-scratch version, you’ll never go back. They’re crispier, cheesier, and way healthier than anything in a box.
Ingredients
- 1 premade rectangular pizza dough sheet like Pillsbury
- All-purpose flour for dusting
- 6 oz sliced deli ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese
- 4 strips cooked bacon chopped
- 2 scrambled eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 –15 pepperoni slices
- 2 tbsp pizza sauce optional
- 1 egg for egg wash
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough into a 16×14-inch rectangle. Cut it in half lengthwise, then divide each half into three equal sections for six rectangles total.
- Add your fillings to the lower half of each rectangle, leaving space on the sides for sealing. Choose your flavor: ham & cheese, bacon egg & cheese, or pepperoni pizza.
- Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges down firmly. Use a fork to crimp and seal the sides.
- Brush the tops with a beaten egg to give them a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes, checking at 8 minutes. They should be golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warmth!

Notes
Store cooled hot pockets in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5–6 minutes for the best texture.
