Why did the calzone break up with the pizza? It couldn’t handle the "slice" of life!


Ingrédients

6
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 tsp) active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

Préparation

1

In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

2

In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

3

Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, then place it in a greased bowl and cover. Let it rise for 30 minutes.

4

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

5

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Cut into circles or rectangles.

6

In one half, spread ricotta, mozzarella, and pepperoni. Fold over the dough and seal the edges.

7

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.

8

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Idées de Dressage

Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Add fresh basil leaves on top for a touch of color.

Conservation

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Idées avec les Restes

Reheat in the oven at 350°F for crispiness.
Chop leftover calzones and toss them into a pasta salad.

Erreurs à Éviter

Not letting the dough rise enough, which can result in dense calzones.
Overstuffing the calzones leading to leaking during baking.
