Pizza Pocket or Meat Pattie

4 C flour
1 t sugar
1 t yeast
5 T vegetable oil
warm water (this is the part you have to guess!:-/ I have no idea how much....I think its well over a cup, but start with a cup and then add until the consistency looks right)

Add all ingredients together and knead in mixer until you get a nice dough (not sticky, but not too dry) Can add flour/water to adjust - there is no exact measurements!

Divide up dough into balls - depending on the size you want your patties...I do mine about the size of a squash ball (bigger than a golf ball) - I think this makes about 14-16 patties?

Line them up on the counter and cover with a tea towel.

Organize your filling:
Pizza - sauce, cheese, pepperoni, whatever else you want in there

Beef - canned corn beef (we prefer Hereford brand or Grace - found with the Spam/tuna etc, or in the ethnic/Caribbean section)
Season your beef (remove the "fat" - ie. dogfood like jelly at the bottom of the can) - then add worchester, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, chopped cilantro, Maggi seasoning (if you have it) (don't add salt though, the beef itself is salty)
1 can of beef makes approx 8 patties? I think the amount of dough in this recipe should make approx 16?

Roll out your ball of dough into a circle. Add your filling to one side and then fold the other side over and press with a fork to seal. Flip patty over and press other side too to make sure it won't open when frying.
Pizza - approx 1 T sauce, about 1 t cheese, about 2 pepperoni slices (I chop mine up)
Beef - approx 2 T filling - press down/spread it a little bit

Heat a few inches of oil in your wok/frying pan (whatever you use to fry). Cook patties until golden, flipping to ensure equal cooking

Drain on paper towel.
