Getting kids to eat their veggies - part 2

In my efforts to get my 2 1/2 year old to eat his veggies I have learnt to be a little creative where I place (or hide his veggies).  One of his favourite toasted sandwiches is a ham, cheese and avocado.  So I decided to make an almost a calzone version.  Firstly I made a bread dough with the help of my bread maker, added a couple of cups of veggies (zucchini and pumpkin) and then filled little pockets of the dough and baked.  My son loves them so much he normally asks for two and I now make versions for the whole family, including tomato and basil for me.  They freeze really well so they are a good healthy lunch ready at hand.

I hope you and your family enjoy xxx

Veggie pockets

milk 180ml (reduce this by the amount of liquid you get from the veggies, i.e. if you can drain 50ml of liquid out of your bowl of veggies by lightly squeezing the veg then reduce milk by 50ml)

oil 2 tablespoons

veggies 1-2 cups

salt 1.5 teaspoons

sugar 2 tablespoons

bread flour 3 cups

bread improver 1 teaspoon

dried yeast 1.25 teaspoons

your choice of fillings

Put all the above ingredients into bread maker machine.  When the dough is made remove, kneed and split into small balls (say 12).

Leave dough to prove.  Once the balls have risen roll out and fill with your chosen fillings. 

Brush the edges with water, fold and press down and place into a hot oven (180 C) until pockets are lightly brown.

Best served hot.
