Bread Pizza Pockets or Bread Pizza McPuff is a very simple snack recipe that is similar to Veg Pizza McPuff. The procedure of making the Bread Pizza Pockets is similar to the Veg Pizza McPuff. The only difference is the use of all-purpose flour sheets in place of bread sheets. The stuffing is also the same and you can vary the vegetables while preparing it. It takes less time to prepare Bread Pizza Pockets. To prepare Bread Pizza Pockets, you just need few Bread slices and stuffing made from different types of vegetables.
The stuffing of Bread Pizza Pockets or Bread Pizza McPuff is the most important thing that we should be aware of. The taste of the stuffing depends mainly on Pizza Sauce, Pizza Seasoning and Mozzarella Cheese. The quantity of these ingredients should be proper so that the real taste of the McPuff is maintained. The vegetables that you use in preparing the stuffing can be varied. Here I am using French Beans, Capsicum, Carrot and Sweet Corns. You can also add Frozen Peas, Mushroom and other vegetables also.
While preparing the stuffing you can add the Pizza Seasoning immediately or after turning off the flame. You must also keep in mind that you should add Mozzarella Cheese only after the stuffing completely cools down. If added when it still hot, it will melt down and the taste of Pizza style will not come. You might have seen how cheese plays an important part in Pizza taste. This is the same case with the Bread Pizza Pocket. So this recipe is named as Pizza Pocket or Pizza McPuff.
You can bake Bread Pizza Pockets in pre heated microwave oven if you do not want to consume oil. One of the advantages of baking is that the stuffing doesn’t come out of the pockets. While frying there are chances that the vegetable stuffing can come out of the bread sheets. However I suggest you to fry the pockets in oil only. The stuffed Bread Pizza Pockets can be kept in freeze after the stuffing is rolled in bread sheets. Just take out of the freeze and fry it and serve it hot with your favourite chutney or ketchup.
I have been frequently preparing the Veg Pizza McPuff at my place. But one day I decided to make the Pizza McPuff little differently. I tried with bread slices in place of maida sheets. The taste of this Pizza McPuff was also very delicious. So I thought to share it with my readers. Do try this at your home and leave your feedback.
