Calzones With Dipping Sauce Food

EASY CALZONE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 °F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with oil.
• Divide the dough into 8 equally sized pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/4" thick circle.
• Place the filling on half of each circle (pizza sauce, ricotta, pepperoni, salami and shredded mozzarella). Make sure to leave the edges clean to allow for sealing the calzone. Fold the side over the filling and crimp the edges.
• Place calzones on a baking sheet, leaving space apart. Cut a small vent on the top of each calzone. Brush the tops with oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

CALZONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Set pizza stone in oven to get hot while oven preheats (or use a baking sheet turned upside down).
• Divide pizza dough into 8 portions. Roll a piece into a flat disk, about 1/4 inch thick. Add about ¼ cup of toppings to one side, including a generous sprinkle of cheese. Fold the other half of dough over the toppings and seal the edges together.
• Place calzones on a large piece of parchment paper.
• Use a sharp knife to make a slit on top of each calzone (for steam to escape while baking). Lightly brush tops of calzones with beaten egg, then sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
• Transfer calzones (on the parchment paper) to the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve with warmed pizza sauce, for dipping.

CALZONES WITH DIPPING SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1- Dough- Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl. Add 1 tablesp olive oil, sugar and salt. Add flour gradually until dough is smooth and pliable. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface working dry ingredients totally into the dough. Pour 1 teas of olive oil in a container. Put dough in container, evenly coating dough with the oil on both sides. Cover and let rise in a warm area for 40 minutes or until dough doubles in size. 2- Filling- Cut camembert into smaller more manageable pieces: 1/2" chunks. Combine the ricotta, camembert cheese, pepperoni, ham and basil in a large bowl. Mix well. Cover and chill. 3- Preheat oven to 375 degrees 5 minutes before dough is finished rising. 4- Remove dough and punch dough down. Separate into either 2 pieces (for 2 bigger calzones) or 4 pieces (for smaller calzones). Roll dough flat and in a circle shape on a floured surface. Fill calzones with either 2 parts or 4 parts (depending on whether you are making 2 or 4 calzones). Fill with filling and fold dough over the filling. Pinch edges and secure with fork marks along open edge of calzone. Brush beaten egg over top of calzone. Place on a oven stone or greased cookie sheet. 5- Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. 1/2 way through cooking, Turn calzones in 180 degree angle to ensure even brownness. Calzones are done when dough turns a golden brown color and dough is cooked and not doughy. 6-Heat dipping sauce and add spices to taste. 7- Take calzones out and dip into sauce.
