Sorry about the lack of posts lately. With school finishing and a super long vacation, blogging has taken a back seat.
This is a great recipe for summer since you only cook for about 10-15 minutes. You can also get very creative and let everyone make their own (meaning less work for you!) Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 TBSP Yeast
1 tsp salt
1/4 c olive oil
1 1/2 c warm water
4 cups flour
Pizza toppings (including sauce, cheese, pepperoni, etc.)
Directions
1. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 c warm water and let stand for 10 minutes. While yeast is activating, combine flour and salt in a bowl and make a well.
2. Pour yeast mixture, remaining water and oil into well and mix to form a ball. Knead until smooth. Cover and let rise until double (about 45 minutes).
3. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Punch down down and divide into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a 10 inch circle.
4. Assemble your calzone. Put about 2 T sauce on half of the dough, leaving space around the edges to seal. Fill calzone with pepperoni, cheese, ham, sausage, onions, mushrooms, peppers, olives, or whatever else you choose!
5. Fold in have and seal the edges with a fork or your fingers by pinching dough together. For extra taste, brush top with olive oil then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasonings.
6. Cook at 500 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Let cool 3-5 minutes before serving.
The calzone pictured up top had alfredo sauce, chicken, bacon and mozzarella cheese.
