- 3 Tablespoons Baking Soda
- Baking Sheet
- 3 Tablespoons Butter (optional)

3. Divide the dough evenly into balls.
4. With a rolling pin roll out each ball into a round circle.
5. Place slices of ham and cheese on each round and fold dough in half and seal the edges. Dock the top of the pocket with a fork to allow the steam to escape while baking.
6. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Dissolve baking soda in 2 cups of very hot tap water, and stir until dissolved.
8. Dip each pretzel pocket in the baking soda solution, then place on a kitchen towel to drain off excess solution. Sprinkle with pretzel salt.
9. Place filled pockets on the baking sheet, making sure they are not touching.
10. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes, or until pockets are golden brown.
11. Melt butter and brush on top of the pretzel pockets (*Optional). Serve warm.
For a variety, instead of Ham & Cheese, use the filling of your choice, such as: Cheesesteak, Pizza, Roast Beef w/Swiss Cheese, and Turkey & Cheese.
