Categories: Italian, Pizza
Yield: 1 Servings
-Filling:
4 oz Mozzarella
1 c Ricotta
4 oz Cooked ham
2 tb Freshly grated Parmesan
-cheese
2 Eggs, beaten
4 Fresh basil leaves, chopped
-salt and freshly ground
-black pepper
-a little milk for glazing
(makes 4 calzone)
use 1 lb pizza dough (use your own recipe, or substitute 1 lb frozen
pizza
dough. If you're really desperate, frozen bread dough will work...)
1. Make the dough as described in the basic recipe 2. Cut the
mozzarella
and the ham into strips. 3. Beat the eggs (keeping a little aside for
sealing the dough envelopes) and add the Parmesan cheese, basil, a
pinch of
salt and 2 or 3 grinds of black pepper. Mix this in with the ricotta,,
mozzarella and ham so as to form a reasonably soft paste. 4. Preheat
the
oven to 425 F (220 C) 5. Divide the dough into 4 balls. Flatten these
one
at a time, forming a small pizza 1/2 inch thick. 6. Place these on a
dry
cloth and put a quarter of the filling on half of each pizza. Cover
the
filling by folding the pizza in half, and seal it by wetting the edge
with
a little beaten egg and pressing a fork on the join. 7. Brush the
dough
over with a little milk. 8. Place the calzone on a well-oiled baking
tray
and bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown.
