Real Italian Calzones image

This is real calzone, because there is no tomato sauce INSIDE of it! We eat it at least once a week. Have a bowl of tomato or spaghetti sauce on the table for people to top their calzone with, if desired.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup diced pepperoni
½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • To Make Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the oil, sugar and salt; mix in 1 cup of the flour until smooth. Gradually stir in the rest of the flour, until dough is smooth and workable. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it is elastic. Lay dough in a bowl containing 1 teaspoon olive oil, then flip the dough, cover and let rise for 40 minutes, or until almost doubled.
  • To Make Filling: While dough is rising, combine the ricotta cheese, Cheddar cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms and basil leaves in a large bowl. Mix well, cover bowl and refrigerate to chill.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • When dough is ready, punch it down and separate it into 2 equal parts. Roll parts out into thin circles on a lightly floured surface. Fill each circle with 1/2 of the cheese/meat filling and fold over, securing edges by folding in and pressing with a fork. Brush the top of each calzone with egg and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

These calzones were a disaster! The dough was tough and the filling was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

Overall, I thought the calzones were good, but not great. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

The calzones were good, but I found the dough to be a bit too thick. I will try rolling it out thinner next time.
