Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. The dough will initially appear crumbly. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Transfer the mixture to a lightly floured work surface and knead until it forms a cohesive ball. Continue kneading for about 3 minutes, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking, until the dough is smooth and pliable. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 4x7-inch rectangle, approximately 1/8-inch thick. (8 minutes)

04

Step

Evenly spread each dough rectangle with Dijon mustard. Top with shredded Swiss cheese, followed by the thinly sliced deli ham, folding the ham as necessary to fit within the dough's borders. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully pull the long sides of the dough rectangles up and over the filling until they meet in the middle. Pinch the edges together firmly to seal. Fold the ends under to create neat pockets, pinching to fully enclose the filling. (7 minutes)

06

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the top of each dough pocket to promote browning. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly coat the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray or line it with a parchment liner to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Place the prepared dough pockets in the air fryer basket, seam-side down, ensuring they are not touching each other. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Air fry until the hot pockets are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 9 to 10 minutes. Check for doneness by ensuring the internal dough is cooked and the cheese is melted. (10 minutes)

10

Step

Once cooked, carefully transfer the hot pockets to a wire rack to cool slightly for 3 to 5 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set and prevents burning your mouth. (5 minutes)

11

Step

Serve hot and enjoy the simple pleasure of these homemade delights.

For best results, use a high-quality, full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer dough.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and fillings. Cheddar, provolone, or even a vegetarian filling would work well.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Ensure the dough is well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep a close eye on the hot pockets during the last few minutes of cooking.

    Can you use regular yogurt instead of Greek?" - Answer: "Greek yogurt is recommended for its thickness, but regular yogurt can be used with slight adjustments to the amount of flour needed to achieve the right dough consistency.
