Instructions

  • To make the dough, combine flour, salt, warm water, olive oil and sunflower seeds in a food processor and pulse until it is combined into a ball of bread dough. Roll out dough on a floured surface, using more of the whole wheat flour until it is not as sticky.
  • For the filling, pulse chopped and peeled carrot, broccoli, and Parmesan cheese in the food processor until it is chopped very finely.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cut the dough using a large heart shaped cookie cutter.
  • Spread pesto on one half of the heart, and sprinkle the veggie mixture on top. Fold heart shape over and crimp the edges with a fork.
  • Whisk 1 egg white together. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the pocket.
  • Bake on a cookie sheet for 10-13 minutes, or until dough is baked and browned.
