Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes

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.

Broccoli Calzones image

These turnovers make a great weeknight dinner. Just pop them straight from the freezer into the oven, and serve with your favorite tomato sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Flour, for rolling dough
2 packages (1 pound each) balls fresh or frozen pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded (6 ounces) part-skim mozzarella cheese
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Prepared tomato sauce (optional)
1 medium red onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion; cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add broccoli, garlic, and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Form calzones: Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, stretch each piece out, first to a 3-by-4-inch oval, then stretch again, this time to a 6-by-8-inch oval. (Let dough rest a few minutes if too elastic to work with.)
  • Stir cheeses into cooled broccoli mixture; season generously with salt and pepper. Assemble calzones: Spread a rounded 1/2 cup broccoli mixture over half of each piece of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border; fold over to form a half-moon. Press edges to seal. With a paring knife, cut 2 slits in the top of each calzone.
  • Using a wide metal spatula with a thin blade, transfer calzones to 2 baking sheets lined with parchment or waxed paper; reshape if needed.
  • Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Serve with tomato sauce, if desired.

BROCCOLI RABE, OLIVE AND PARMESAN CALZONE



Broccoli Rabe, Olive and Parmesan Calzone image

A calzone has many of the perks of pizza. Easy and crowd pleasing, it's a good vehicle for using up odds and ends in the fridge. It also has some happy benefits of its own. For one, you can get away with adding a lot more cheese. In fact, it's practically mandatory. You need to stuff enough ricotta and mozzarella into the dough so that it ripples attractively, rising as it bakes. Unlike an apple turnover, which wants to stay flat, a calzone should peak and singe at the top. (True, you could cram the dough full of vegetables and the like, but if you love cheese, calzones are the place to indulge.) Another calzone advantage is the element of surprise. Pizza gives it all up as soon as it lands on the table; serve a calzone to a group and let them anticipate the moment when they find out what's inside.

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 bunch broccoli rabe, tough stems removed
Kosher salt, as needed
Black pepper, as needed
All-purpose flour, as needed
1 8-ounce ball pizza dough, homemade or purchased
1 cup fresh ricotta
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
3 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced

Pinch red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 2/3 of the garlic. Cook until fragrant but not brown, about 20 seconds. Add the broccoli rabe and 3 tablespoons water. Cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until stems are tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly flour a work surface, and stretch or roll the dough into a 12-inch round. Spoon ricotta on half the dough, leaving a half-inch border. Top with Parmesan, remaining garlic and mozzarella. Mound broccoli rabe over the cheese, and sprinkle with olives and pepper flakes. Brush the edges of the dough with water, and fold dough in half, over filling; pinch the edges of the dough together to seal.
  • Transfer calzone to baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil. Bake until crust is golden and firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

  • 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.

  • 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.
