Calzones

Calzones are made from pizza dough & stuffed with meats, cheeses & vegetables. It is like a folded pizza in the shape of a half-moon & made from bread dough.

I had fun making calzones but enjoyed the most when the family loved it :)

I used the recipe for a pizza base, slathered it with the traditional pizza sauce. Added a filling of chicken (you can make any type of filling you want) & then added lots of cheese. Folded it over & baked it !!

For the pizza dough, you need :

• 2cups flour
• 1tbsp yeast
• 1tsp sugar
• half cup warm milk
• one forth cup oil

Mix all the above very well till the dough is soft. Cover & keep aside for 3hrs atleast.

For the Pizza Sauce :

• 4 medium tomatoes
• 1 onion 
• 2tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• oregano + rosemary + thyme

Place all the above in a pan & cook till tomatoes are soft & sauce-like texture is obtained.

Now, make 10 portions of the dough. Take one portion of the dough & roll it in a small roti.

Spread the sauce, in the centre of the roti. Spread the chicken filling in half of the sauce area. Sprinkle cheese on top of the chicken filling. Fold the roti so that you get a half moon. Now bake all the calzones in the oven till the dough is cooked & you get a nice color on top of the calzones.

It is a really yummy & cheesy delicacy & you will enjoy it for sure !!

Happy Eating :)
