Bread pocket is a wonderful snack or works great as an appetizer. The bread pockets are very easy to make with some simple steps. This will be a great recipe to make with kids. I am making a vegetable filling for the pockets. But you can have your choice of filling.
You can even serve it for dinner. Left-over’s can be refrigerated, but most probably there will be no left-over’s. Me never had to do that, thanks to my foodie hubby, my little one and Me. Usually, I use homemade bread. But this time, I used store-bought bread which was easy for me. Be creative with the filling and here goes the recipe.
