Calzone

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/3 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
4 cups bread flour
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
-----spinach filling-----
10 1/2 ounces frozen chopped spinach
garlic powder
Page 1
 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup provolone cheese -- grated +-
1 cup mozzarella cheese -- grated +-

Remove dough from machine and roll it into circles of approximately 8

inches. Spread filling on one half of the circle leaving a border around
it for closing. Close the >> calzone by folding the unfilled side on top
of the filled side and crimping the edges closed with your fingers or a
fork. Place on a lightly greased baking pan. Let rise approx. 30 minutes.
Brush lightly with olive oil and bake at 500 degrees for 20-30 minutes or
until puffed and golden. (I bake them at 485 degrees for 15 minutes in my
oven.) The original recipe says to put 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons each or
ricotta and grated mozzarella cheese in each calzone. >> My favorite
filling is the following...... SPINACH FILLING : Saute thawed spinach in
olive oil and garlic powder until all water has evaporated. (I squeeze out
excess liquid first) Mix cheeses into spinach. You may substitute frozen
chopped broccoli for spinach.

 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 ounce active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water
1/2 cup olive oil
4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
chopped fresh rosemary -- tarragon and oregano
for the filling
2 ounces pesto
1/4 pound ham -- thinly sliced
1/4 pound provolone cheese -- sliced
1/8 pound coppacola (spicy italian -- ham) thinly sliced
2 sweet red peppers, roasted -- peeled and sliced
2 ounces pepperoncinis -- drained and
(6 - 8)
1 egg
1 egg white
cornmeal

For the Pizza Dough Soften the yeast in the water. Stir in the oil, then
the flour and salt. Knead dough on a floured board until smooth and
elastic (about 20 minutes). Shape into a round ball, cover with plastic
and refrigerate 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Shape the pizza
dough into a ball and then roll out into a large oval shape (about 24
inches long). About 2 inches behind the front edge, spread the pesto in a
long stripe, stopping just short of the ends. Just behind and overlapping
the pesto, place a layer of the ham slices, then a layer of cheese then
the coppacolla, peppers and pepperoncini. You should still have about 2
inches of dough showing at the back edge. Beat the egg and brush on the
back edge and ends of the dough. Roll up Calzone as firmly as possible (so
no air gets inside). Tuck the ends in and finish with the back edge on the
bottom, not on the side. Place on a baking sheet pan sprinkled with corn
meal, brush with egg white and bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.
Cool to room temperature and slice. Can be sliced thin for appetizers
NOTE: To roast peppers, preheat broiler. Slice the peppers in half
lengthwise. Core them and remove the seeds and ribs. Lay the pieces skin
side up on a flat broiling pan and place the pan 3 - 4 inches below the
heat. Broil the peppers until the skins are charred (they should be
black). Then place the peppers in a plastic bag, seal it with a twist tie
and set aside. Let peppers steam in the bag for 15 minutes. Remove the
peppers from the bag and slip off the charred skins.
