Time 40m

Yield 8 mini calzones

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup semolina flour or cornmeal
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 pound store-bought pizza dough, thawed if frozen and at room temperature
1 large egg
1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
1/2 cup ricotta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 thin slices pepperoni (about 2 ounces)
2 cups roasted garlic tomato sauce, such as Classico® Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Sprinkle a baking sheet with the semolina and set aside.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough into a round that is about 12 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 8 rounds with a 3 1/2- to 4-inch biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Dust with flour and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
  • Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine the cheese blend, ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan, scallions and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place 3 slices of the pepperoni on one half of each round of dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Top each round with 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture.
  • Brush the egg wash around the edges of one dough round using your finger or a pastry brush. Gently fold the dough over the filling to enclose and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds.
  • Brush the tops of the calzones with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet and bake on the middle rack until golden, 14 to 16 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through for even baking.
  • While the calzones bake, heat the tomato sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Place the calzones on a platter with the sauce and serve immediately.

MINI CALZONES



Mini Calzones image

Categories     Sauce     Side     Bake     Sausage     Pastry

Yield makes 16 calzones; 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces Italian-style turkey sausage
1 cup tightly packed arugula (about 1 ounce)
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (13.5-ounce) tube of refrigerated pizza dough
All-purpose flour, for rolling the dough
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce, store-bought or homemade (page 144)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a medium-size, heavy skillet. Add the sausage and cook until crumbled and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the arugula and cook until wilted. Turn off the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. Add the cream cheese, 1/3 cup of the Parmesan, the salt, and the pepper and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a thin 20 by 12-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 8 equal rectangles.
  • Spoon some of the topping onto 1 side of each rectangle. Using a pastry brush, brush the edges of the rectangle with egg wash. Close the rectangle of pizza dough over the topping. Use a fork to seal and crimp the edges. Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top of each with egg wash. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Bake until golden, 15 to 17 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the marinara sauce over low heat in a medium saucepan. Serve the hot calzones with the marinara sauce alongside for dipping.
