I made these pizza calzones tonight! They were delicious! I used some ideas from the Meals and Moves blog, and came up with a yummy creation. They were pretty easy to make, and didn't require rising or extensive kneading.
Here is the recipe for the crust of the calzone:
2 3/4 cup spelt flour (or whole wheat)
1 tsp. salt
1 cup warm water (110 degrees about)
1 T. olive oil
In mixture or food processor, mix 2 cups flour and salt together and mix together. Add yeast to warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly and frothy. Add olive oil to yeast mixture and mix. Pour yeast mixture slowly into flour and begin to mix. Add another 1/4-1 cup flour (1/4 cup at a time) until dough stops sticking to sides. Let it mix for about 5 minutes. Or take it out and knead it for a few minutes on a floured surface. Split into 7 balls and roll out each one to about 7 inches (on floured surface of course). Add topping inside and fold over. Crimp sides with a fork. Brush each calzone with egg white wash or olive oil to help make the top crisp. Place on cookie sheet. Cook on lowest rack in the oven for 15-17 minutes @ 400 degrees.
For the filling I added:
- Cooked seasoned chicken, cubed or shredded
- Pizza sauce
- Artichoke hearts and olives
- Caramelized onions, green peppers, and mushrooms
- Cheese (for mine I used half of a string cheese, for Bradon I used mozzarella and cheddar)
- Salt and pepper
DELICIOUS!!! I paired them up with steamed veggies! A side salad would have been good too.
You can also use this recipe to make 2 thin, 12 inch pizzas.
