Cheesy Calzone From Oamc Easy Mix Yeast Bread Dough For 2 Recipes

EASY CHEESY CALZONE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Line a 12 inch pizza pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray coating.
• Press dough onto foil in pan forming a 12-inch circle.
• In a large mixing bowl stir together cheeses then spoon 1/2 of mixture onto dough.
• Fold dough over filling to form a half-circle. Seal edges, then use the edge of a spoon to make decorative edge, if desired.
• Cut slits for escape of steam.
• Repeat for the other package of dough.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or till filling is heated through and cheese is melted.
• Cover with foil after 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
• Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes before serving. Heat sauce and serve with calzone for dipping.

THREE-CHEESE CALZONES

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for diffused indirect heat by building the hot coals evenly around the perimeter of the grill. Remove the center ring from the grill grate and insert a medium cast-iron skillet. Invert another larger cast-iron skillet over the top. This acts as a pizza oven for your outdoor grill. (If using a gas grill, heat to medium-high heat.)
• For the calzone dough: Add the flour, honey, salt and yeast to a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Then add 1 3/4 cups room temperature water and the olive oil and pulse again until the dough comes together into a rough ball and rides around the bowl. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead a few times until a smooth elastic ball forms. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces and place each in a quart-sized deli container or gallon-sized resealable plastic bag with a drizzle of olive oil. Allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate overnight and up to 5 days. This makes enough for 3 calzones. Save the extra dough in the freezer for another time. It will last up to 2 months.
• When ready to use, remove the dough from the refrigerator and take it out of its storage vessel while still cold. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 1 hour before grilling.
• For the cheese mixture: In the meantime, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, pecorino and herbs in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• To make the calzones: On a lightly floured surface, roll out 2 balls of dough into 6-inch rounds. Spoon half of the cheese mixture onto each round, spreading it evenly but leaving a 1-inch border, then fold each round over in half. Crimp the edges with a fork or your fingers to seal it and place them onto the inverted cast-iron. Cover the grill and bake for 15 minutes. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the calzones with extra-virgin olive oil, cover the grill and bake until golden brown and the dough is cooked through, another 5 minutes.
• Remove from the grill and let sit for a few minutes before digging in!
• (Alternatively, you can place the calzones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a 375 degrees F oven until golden brown and the dough is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before eating.)

OAMC CALZONES

Steps:

• Thaw two loaves of bread dough.
• Divide each loaf into five parts each.
• One at a time, roll each dough piece on a floured board or stretch with your hands, making 10 7 inch squares.
• Fold each dough square over half a cheese slice to form a turnover, and pinch edges to seal.
• (You can also ladle 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup sauce into center of each square before making the turnover, but the sauce tends to seep out). Place each turnover in a small sandwich bag.
• Put 5 turnovers in a 1 gallon freezer bag.
• Divide sauce in half, and store in 2 1-quart freezer bags; enclose each bag of sauce in a bag of calzones.
• Do the same with the remaining 5 turnovers.
• To prepare for serving, thaw sauce; heat in a medium pan 10-15 minutes until bubbly.
• At the same time, take frozen turnovers out of bags, and place them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet sprayed with a nonstick spray.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• Turnovers will be golden brown when done.
• Ladle sauce on top of turnovers, and serve.

• Roll out the fill with your favorite stuffings.
• Cook at 500 degrees on a stone (works best) or a 9 x 13-inch pan for 7 minutes or until golden brown.

CHEESY PULL-APART CALZONE

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cut dough roll in half crosswise.
• Unroll one dough half onto large baking sheet which has been sprayed with cooking spray.
• Spread pizza sauce down centre of dough leaving 1/2 inch around the edges.
• Top sauce with mozarella cheese.
• Top half with turkey slices, leaving the other half as cheese only.

• Crimp edges with fork.
• Cut rectangle in half crosswise.
• Cut each rectangle on diagonal into two pieces, but do NOT separate.
• Brush dough lightly with water, using pastry brush.
• Sprinkle evenly with parmesan cheese.

CALZONE (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place water, salt, basil, oregano, garlic powder, bread flour, dry milk, sugar, and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
• Select Dough cycle.
• After cycle ends, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, shaping into a 16 x 10 inch rectangle.
• Transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet.
• In a small bowl, mix together chopped pepperoni and mozzarella.
• Spoon pizza sauce in a stripe down the center of dough lengthwise; add sausage and cheese filling.
• Make diagonal cuts 1 1/2 inches apart down each side, cutting within a 1/2 inch of the filling.
• Criss cross strips over filling, sealing with water.
• Brush top with melted butter.
• You can just fold over the sides without cutting the strips to make this process easier.
• It will taste just as good, but not look as nice.
• Be sure to seal the edges well.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes.
