Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water in large mixer bowl. Add 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, sugar, salt, butter, egg, and 2 cups flour. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead 8 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turn to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down; let rest 10 minutes.
- Heat oil in small nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add green pepper; cook and stir until browned.
- Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece to a 6 x 6-inch square.
- Combine spaghetti sauce and garlic powder; spread on squares. Top with chicken, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and Mozzarella cheese. Fold to form triangles; pinch sides to seal. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Slash tops of pockets to allow steam to escape. Brush with egg white combined with water.
- Bake at 375°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Serve warm.
