Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup water
1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour (ok to use all AP)
1 teaspoon bread machine yeast
olive oil flavored cooking spray (such as Pam or Mazola)
1 lb broccoli, stems peeled,then cut into 1/2" pieces and florets
1 1/2 lbs red potatoes or 1 1/2 lbs white potatoes, peeled,diced into 1/2" pieces
2 tablespoons lemon juice, approx 1/2 lemon
4 cloves garlic, minced (more, to taste)
1 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 tbsp fresh, finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
kosher salt, divided use
1 cup grated low-fat cheese (I use Monterey Jack)
low fat prepared pasta sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Load ingredients for pizza dough into ABM per your manufacturer's instructions.
  • Set on dough cycle.
  • Remove when dough has completed second kneading.
  • While dough is being processed, make calzone filling: Place peeled and diced potatoes in saucepan with desired amount of Kosher salt and steam just until tender (can be pierced easily with a fork).
  • As soon as potatoes are tender, drain thoroughly and return to saucepan to "dry out" for a couple of minutes.
  • Then, while still HOT, add lemon juice, basil, oregano, and garlic.
  • While potatoes are steaming, place broccoli pieces in a wide saucepan.
  • Sprinkle with Kosher salt to taste.
  • Use a measuring cup to drizzle HOT water over top of broccoli, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Cover TIGHTLY.
  • When water begins to boil, immediately turn off heat, without raising lid, and broccoli will finish cooking.
  • Allow broccoli to steam for about 10 minutes.
  • When bread machine completes second kneading, remove dough and divide into 2 pieces, one slightly larger than the other.
  • Roll the larger piece to fit the shape of your pizza peel/pan.
  • Preheat oven to 450 deg F.
  • Lightly spray the peel/pan with the cooking spray and place the lower crust on it.
  • Gently add the broccoli to the potato/herb mixture, taking care not to "mush" broccoli.
  • Spread vegetables over rolled crust on peel/pan, leaving about 1"-2" around the outer edge to fold over for seal.
  • Sprinkle cheese over veggies (if using).
  • Roll the smaller piece of dough into the same shape and place over potato/broccoli filling.
  • Bring outer edges of lower crust up and fold over top crust to form a seal on the top, all the way around.
  • Bake in preheated 450 deg oven, preferably on a pizza stone, for 15 minutes , or until lightly browned.
  • Allow to cool about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warmed pasta sauce as a topping or side, if desired.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ heads fresh broccoli
⅔ cup shredded provolone cheese
⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup diced pepperoni
¼ cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons cornmeal

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, proof the yeast by blending it with 1/4 cup of the warm water. Let stand until it bubbles.
  • In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Blend in the one tablespoon of olive oil by rubbing the mixture between the palms of your hands. Make a well in the dry ingredients. Add proofed yeast mixture and work in by hand. Gradually add the remaining warm water. Blend well and gather into a ball.
  • Place one teaspoon of olive oil on a wooden board. Knead dough on board until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
  • Meanwhile, prepare calzone filling: separate the broccoli tops from the stalks. Soak in cool water with 1 teaspoon salt for 15 minutes. Rinse in cool water. Cook in a large pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well and chop into small pieces. Place in large bowl with provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, pepperoni, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper.
  • Punch down dough and knead for one minute. Divide into six equal pieces. On a floured board, roll each section into a 8x10 inch rectangle.
  • In a small bowl combine the beaten egg and water. On the long side of the dough, place 2/3 cup filling in a strip one inch away from the edges of the dough. Flatten the filling with a spoon. Brush egg mixture over edges of dough. Fold the dough over the filling. Fold edges under 1/4 inch. Seal edges.
  • Sprinkle two 12x16 inch baking pans with cornmeal. Place three calzones on each baking pan. Brush remaining egg mixture on top of calzones. Prick tops of calzones with toothpick, making holes 1/2 inch apart on top of dough.
  • Bake in a preheated 375 degree F (190 degrees C) oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot or cold.

CHEF JOHN'S HAM AND CHEESE CALZONES



Chef John's Ham and Cheese Calzones image

Today calzones are most commonly stuffed with the exact same toppings that go on a pizza which, besides the crust issue, was one of my main problems with it. I mean, why not just fold a pizza in half, and call it a day? So, I decided to do what I hear is a more traditional filling featuring ricotta, fresh mozzarella, and ham. The result was as enjoyable as it was surprising.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 ounces prepared pizza dough
8 slices prosciutto
2 cups ricotta cheese, drained
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ cups finely diced smoked ham
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced, drained on paper towels
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 cups marinara sauce for dipping, heated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal portions; shape each into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each dough ball into a flat circle and roll out into an 8- or 9-inch circle.
  • Place 2 prosciutto slices on one half of each circle of dough, leaving a 1-inch empty border. Spoon ricotta cheese on prosciutto. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Top with chopped ham, mozzarella slices, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Moisten edge of dough with a bit of water using your fingertip. Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling and lightly seal edges. Crimp the edges up to completely seal the calzone.
  • Sprinkle lined baking sheet with cornmeal. Transfer calzones to baking sheet. Cut several small slits in the top of the crust with the tip of a knife to allow for venting.
  • Beat egg with water to make egg wash. Brush the calzones with egg wash. Dust with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Remove excess cornmeal and grated cheese from around calzones to avoid smoke from the hot oven.
  • Bake in preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving. Serve with heated marinara sauce for dipping.
