Lamb Calzones image

Lamb, olives, feta, garlic- all stuffed inside a wonderful calzone. If you're in a hurry, substitute refrigerated pizza crusts, but I think its well worth it to make your own. So yummy! From BHG.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 3/4-3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning or 2 teaspoons all purpose Greek seasoning, crushed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup warm water (120 degree F to 130 degree F)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb ground lamb or 1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup pizza sauce or 1 (8 ounce) can pizza sauce
1/2 cup sliced pitted ripe olives or 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (or both!)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese or 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (4 ounces)
2 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • To prepare garlic and herb dough, in a large combine 1 and 1/4 cups of the flour, yeast, salt, basil, oregano, Italian seasoning and garlic.
  • Add 1 cup warm water and oil.
  • Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly.
  • Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
  • Using a spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can (I usually never get all of the extra flour to work in).
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total).
  • Divide dough in half.
  • Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each half of dough into a 13-inch circle.
  • Transfer to greased baking sheets.
  • Set aside.
  • For the filling, cook lamb, onion, and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender.
  • Drain fat.
  • Stir in cinnamon.
  • Spread pizza sauce on half of each dough circle to within 1 inch of edge.
  • Sprinkle meat mixture over sauce.
  • Top with olives or mushrooms and feta or provolone cheese.
  • Moisten edges of dough with water.
  • Fold dough in half over filling.
  • Seal edges by pressing with tines of a fork.
  • Cut slits in tops.
  • Brush with milk; sprinkle with sesame seed.
  • Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
  • Cut each calzone into thirds for serving.

I've made these calzones several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The dough is easy to work with and the filling is delicious. I've even experimented with different fillings, such as spinach and feta, and they've all turned out great.
