"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Directions:
For dough, in a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, and salt; mix well and set aside. In a saucepan or microwave bowl heat water, milk, and butter to 120º to 130º. Combine with flour mixture; add eggs. Using an electric mixture, blend at low speed until moistened then beat at medium speed for 3 minutes. By hand, gradually stir in enough flour to make a firm dough. Knead on a floured surface about 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about an hour. Punch dough down, divide into fourths. Roll out each piece into a 15 x 10 inch rectangle. Cut into 6 squares. Spread sauce on each square add fillings of your choice. Bring four corners together, pinch and seal. Repeat with remaining dough and fillings. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375º for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Mom can fit six on a cookie sheet so she has to bake four batches.

Personal Notes:
Mom spends an afternoon making these for my lunches when I'm home in the summer and working. She freezes them in a plastic ziplock. In the morning I grab a pizza pocket as part of my lunch and by noon it has thawed out. The guys I work with are envious! One afternoon of baking and lunch is ready for almost six weeks!
