How To Make Calzone Pizza Food

EASY CALZONE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Divide pizza dough into two sections and roll into balls.
• Place dough balls on a large baking sheet with a light handful of the cornmeal or flour.
• Roll balls around, coating in the dry mixture, then press them into two flattened circles, making sure dough is the same thickness throughout.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the three kinds of cheese, toppings of your choice and tomato sauce. Gently mix with a wooden spoon.
• Spoon the filling into the two sections of dough, then spread the filling evenly over half of each circle of dough.
• Fold the other half of each flattened piece of dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
• To seal, add a bit of water to the edges of the dough. Press together with your fingers, then, starting at one end, pinch two sides together and gently twist the dough diagonally.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil and Parmesan cheese mix, then lightly brush olive oil and Parmesan mixture over the tops of the calzones.
• Slice steam vents horizontally into the tops of the calzones with a sharp knife.
• Place the two pastries in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, then rotate the pan and cook for another 10 minutes. The crust should appear a light golden brown.
• Remove from oven and serve hot.

PERFECT EVERY TIME PIZZA OR CALZONE DOUGH

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup lukewarm water and yeast together in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• Combine 1/2 cup water, olive oil, honey, and salt in a separate bowl; add 1 cup flour and mix well. Mix yeast mixture into flour mixture. Add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is well combined.
• Knead dough on a floured work surface until dough is soft, smooth, and elastic, about 8 minutes. Roll dough into 4 calzone shapes.

CALZONE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the garlic, fry for 1 min until golden, then add the passata and half the basil leaves. Bring to the boil and cook until it is reduced to a thick sauce, so around 3 mins. Stir in the Parma ham and sundried tomatoes, season, then set aside to cool a little.
• Roll out the pizza dough to two 12-15cm circles, then split the mixture between them, piling it onto one side. Top with the mozzarella and remaining basil.
• Close the calzone, pulling the side without the filling over, then crimp around the edge, so it looks like a giant Cornish pasty. Transfer to a floured baking sheet and bake for 15 mins until golden and puffed up.
