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!

MEATBALL PARMESAN



Meatball Parmesan image

Whether you scoop this onto a toasted semolina hero roll for a sandwich, or serve it straight from the pan with garlic bread on the side, meatball Parmesan makes a filling, savory meal. You can form the meatballs up to a day ahead and keep them in the fridge until you're ready to fry. But they are best fried just before baking. Serve this with some kind of crisp green vegetable on the side.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, lunch, meatballs, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 slices white bread (stale is fine)
1/3 cup milk
1 pound ground pork or veal
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/4 cups finely grated Parmesan, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Olive oil, for frying
5 cups Simple Tomato Sauce (see recipe)
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400. Remove crusts from bread slices and discard. Tear remaining bread into small pieces and place in a small bowl. Pour milk over bread and let stand until liquid is almost absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine pork or veal, beef, soaked bread, onion, 1/4 cup Parmesan, the parsley, the garlic, the salt and the pepper until just combined. Form meat into golf-ball-size rounds. (You should have about 25 meatballs.) Meatballs can be formed up to 24 hours ahead, covered and refrigerated before frying.
  • Fill a large skillet with 1/4-inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer fried meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Scatter half the meatballs over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half of the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.
  • Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality pizza dough to ensure a delicious and crispy crust.
  • For the best flavor, use a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Don't overload the calzones with fillings, or they will be difficult to close and cook evenly.
  • Bake the calzones in a preheated oven to ensure they cook through evenly.
  • Serve the calzones hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Meatball Parmesan calzones are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy crust, flavorful filling, and melted cheese, these calzones are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
