• 1/2 cup warm water (110°)
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk (110°)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 1/2 cup flour
• Filling:
• 1 pound bulk sausage
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 cup frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 7 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• pinch of cayenne pepper
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Preparation

Step 1

Dough:
In a bowl, dissolve yeast in the water. Add milk, oil, sugar, egg, salt, and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough flour until it makes a soft dough but do not knead. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Filling:
Cook the sausage and onion over medium heat until browned. Drain. Add the hash browns, eggs, milk, and spices. Cook and stir until set. Sprinkle with cheese and keep warm.

Assembling the pockets:
Preheat oven to 350°F

Punch down the dough and cut into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into 7 in circle on a floured surface. Top with 1/3 cup filling, fold, and pinch shut. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

To freeze:
Allow cooling on the baking sheet. Once cooled, place in the freezer until frozen. Store in a ziplocK bag in the freezer for 3-6 months. To reheat, place on a paper towel and microwave for 1 1/2-2 minutes.
