Time 1h40m

Yield 4 serving

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup warm water
1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast, (1/2 packet)
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 links Italian sausage, casings removed and sausage crumbled
½ yellow onion, diced
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus a pinch
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup marinara sauce, plus more for dipping
8 slices deli ham
20 slices pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a medium bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, flour, and salt. Mix with a rubber spatula until well-combined and the dough comes together into a ball.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface, then turn the dough out and knead for 1-2 minutes to smooth and encourage gluten development. Shape the dough into a ball.
  • Drizzle the olive oil in a clean large bowl. Add the dough ball and turn to coat in the oil. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • While the dough is rising, make the filling: Add the sausage to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat and cook until no longer pink, 5-6 minutes. Add the onion, salt, and pepper and continue to cook until the sausage is browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 portions, then roll each into and round about ¼-inch (½ cm) thick.
  • Spread ¼ of the sauce over one half of each dough round, leaving a ½-inch (1 cm) border along the edge. Top each one with 2 slices of ham, 5 pepperoni, ¼ of the sausage and onion mixture, and ¼ cup (25 G) of mozzarella cheese.
  • Lightly beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Brush the egg wash on the border of the dough, fold the other half over, and press the edges together. Starting from one corner, fold the dough over itself in a twist. Tuck the other corner underneath. Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with egg wash and score the tops with a knife to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Serve the calzones with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup warm water ((110-120°F))
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 pack yeast
1 ¼ cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil ((plus more for frying))
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
3/4 cup crushed tomato
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt & pepper (to taste)
24 small pepperoni

Steps:

  • Whisk together yeast, sugar and warm water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • Mix together flour and salt. Add oil, yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough just begins to come together. Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
  • While the dough is rising, you can make the panzerotti filling.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix together tomatoes, cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • After the dough is ready, divide it into 6 pieces.
  • Press down the ball with your palm. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons of filling and 3-4 pepperoni to each piece.
  • Brush the edges of the dough with water and fold the dough to create a semi-circle.
  • Pinch the edges to seal the pocket. Repeat the process for the rest of the dough.
  • Pour oil (about 1 inch) into a deep skillet and heat the oil to 350°.
  • Once hot, add a few panzerotti pockets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning every minute until both sides are golden brown. (Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.)
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove panzerotti and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve and enjoy!
