Method

1. Pour the milk into a saucepan with the butter and a pinch of salt, bringing it almost to a boil over medium heat.
2. Remove from the heat and pour in the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until a compact ball forms.
3. Transfer the dough onto a clean surface, let it cool slightly, then knead it until smooth and elastic.
4. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3mm and cut out circles about 12cm wide using a bowl or pastry cutter.
5. Place finely chopped ham and diced light mozzarella in the center of each circle.
6. Fold the dough over to create half-moons and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal them completely.
7. Brush the pockets with a little water or milk, coat them in breadcrumbs, and place on a baking tray.
8. Bake at 200°C for 15-18 minutes until golden and crispy.

Tips

• For an extra golden crust, spray the pockets with a tiny bit of olive oil before baking.
• You can freeze them once breaded and bake them directly from frozen whenever you need a quick meal.
