MY FAVORITE CALZONE

Steps:

• Place oven rack on bottom rack of the oven. (If you have a baking stone, place that on rack). Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Make Recipe #265466 according to instructions. Cut ball of dough to however many calzones you are making. DO NOT CUT if making one large calzone. You can cut it to a maximum of 4 calzones.
• Roll out balls of dough (one at a time) on a lightly floured surface to desired thickness. Carefully place on a peel that has been lightly dusted with flour (or with a sheet of parchment paper that can slide off onto the stone).
• Keeping a 1/2" rim, place the ingredients as follows; ricotta cheese, mozzarella, ham, and then sausage onto one half of the round dough.
• Brush egg wash over 1 half of the RIM ONLY (around the filling side). Fold dough over to form a half moon shape. Press edges firmly to seal and/or tuck underneath.
• Cut slits (3 for a large, 2 for medium, and 1 for small) in the top to allow steam to escape. Brush tops very lightly with remaining egg wash. Bake 10 to 20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

BROCCOLI AND CHEESE CALZONE

• In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella and broccoli. Mix well. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Roll dough out to a 12-inch circle. Spread cheese filling over 1 side of circle, to within 1-inch of the edge. Lift 1 side of dough and fold over so that it meets the other side, forming a half moon, and pinch the edges together to seal.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Transfer calzone to a large baking sheet sprinkle the top with cheese. Bake 15 minutes, until puffed up golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

BROCCOLI OLIVE CALZONES

• Mound filling over half of dough, leaving a 1-inch border around edge.
• Brush edges of dough with water.
• Fold other half of dough over filling and press edges to seal.
• Grease baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil; slide wide spatula under calzone and tranfer to baking sheet.
• Use sharp knife or kitchen shears to cut 5 slits diagonally across top.
• Brush remaining oil over top and sprinkle with coarse salt.
• Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden.
• Cool briefly, cut into slices and serve.

CALZONES STUFFED WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• For the calzone dough: In a small bowl, combine the yeast and sugar and whisk together with the warm water. Let sit for 15 minutes; when the water looks frothy and smells very yeasty, it's ready.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add the flours and salt. Pour in the yeast-water mixture and the olive oil. Mix to combine on medium speed. When a dough ball has formed, continue to knead until the dough is tight and not at all sticky, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Lightly oil a mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap. Place the bowl in a warm place to let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and let it rise again for 30 to 40 minutes. During the last rise, make the filling.
• For the broccoli rabe and sausage filling: Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil and prepare a well-salted ice bath. Toss the broccoli rabe in the boiling water, swish around and then remove to the ice bath. Let cool and then coarsely chop.
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring to a medium heat. Add in the sausage and chop it up with the edge of large kitchen spoon. Cook until the sausage is brown and crumbled. Stir in the broccoli rabe and remove from the heat. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in the ricotta and Parmesan. Taste to make sure it is delicious and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To assemble: Once the dough is rested, divide the dough into nine 2-inch balls. (Save 3 of the balls for another purpose.) On a lightly floured work surface, roll the 6 dough balls into 8-inch circles that are about 1/4-inch thick.
• Place about 3/4 cup of the filling on the bottom half of a dough circle. Brush the bottom half edge of the circle with the egg wash. Fold the top half of the circle over to ALMOST meet the bottom edge of the dough. Fold the bottom edge of the dough over the top edge and crimp it shut. Brush the top of the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat this process with rest of the dough and filling.
• Place the filled calzones on sheet trays and bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature with tomato sauce if desired.

BROCCOLI AND CHEESE CALZONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425. In a med bowl, mix the broccoli, green onions, ricotta, gorgonzola, parmesan and fontina. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle a large baking sheet with flour. Unfold the dough and gently stretch and/or roll the dough to an 11-inch square; cut the dough in half diagonally, forming 2 triangles. Place half of the filling in the center of each traingle. Fold one side of each triangle over the filling, forming 2 triangle calzones. Press the edges of the dough to seal. Cut 3 slits in the top of each to allow steam to escape.
• Bake the calzones for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot with marinara poured on top or on the side to dip.

CHEESY POTATO CALZONE

Steps:

• Place the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour int he water. Using your hand to mix, bring the ingredients together to form a soft, pliable dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead vigorously for 5-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and stretchy.
• Rub a little oil over the surface of the dough, cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling water for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drainw well and mash with the milk. Stir in the cheese, onion, basil, salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 220C/450F/gas 7. Divide the dough in half and roll out each half into very thin 30cm rounds. Spoon the potato mix onto one half of each of the rounds. Dampen the edges and fold over the dough, pressing with your fingers to seal.
• Place the calzone on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crusty and golden.

BROCCOLI POTATO CALZONE

Steps:

• Load ingredients for pizza dough into ABM per your manufacturer's instructions.
• Set on dough cycle.
• Remove when dough has completed second kneading.
• While dough is being processed, make calzone filling: Place peeled and diced potatoes in saucepan with desired amount of Kosher salt and steam just until tender (can be pierced easily with a fork).
• As soon as potatoes are tender, drain thoroughly and return to saucepan to "dry out" for a couple of minutes.
• Then, while still HOT, add lemon juice, basil, oregano, and garlic.
• While potatoes are steaming, place broccoli pieces in a wide saucepan.
• Sprinkle with Kosher salt to taste.
• Use a measuring cup to drizzle HOT water over top of broccoli, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
• Cover TIGHTLY.
• When water begins to boil, immediately turn off heat, without raising lid, and broccoli will finish cooking.
• Allow broccoli to steam for about 10 minutes.
• When bread machine completes second kneading, remove dough and divide into 2 pieces, one slightly larger than the other.
• Roll the larger piece to fit the shape of your pizza peel/pan.
• Preheat oven to 450 deg F.
• Lightly spray the peel/pan with the cooking spray and place the lower crust on it.
• Gently add the broccoli to the potato/herb mixture, taking care not to "mush" broccoli.
• Spread vegetables over rolled crust on peel/pan, leaving about 1"-2" around the outer edge to fold over for seal.
• Sprinkle cheese over veggies (if using).
• Roll the smaller piece of dough into the same shape and place over potato/broccoli filling.
• Bring outer edges of lower crust up and fold over top crust to form a seal on the top, all the way around.
• Bake in preheated 450 deg oven, preferably on a pizza stone, for 15 minutes , or until lightly browned.
• Allow to cool about 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve warmed pasta sauce as a topping or side, if desired.
