Mini calzone topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- Flour for work
- 450 gr. pizza dough
- Cornmeal, for dusting
- 0.5 cups (110 g) grated fontina cheese (see Note)
- 0.5 cups (110 g) grated provolone
- 30 g salami, cut into 0.5 cm pieces.
- 1/4 cup diced baked sweet peppers (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp finely chopped Kalamata olives (about 5)
- 1 egg
- Marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade), warmed, for dipping
Preparation:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough ball into a circle 14 inches (35 cm) in diameter and about 0.5 cm (0.25 in) thick. Using a 4-inch (10 cm) round cutter, cut out 12 circles from the dough. Transfer the circles to two heavy baking sheets dusted with cornmeal.
- In a medium bowl, combine the fontina, provolone, salami, roasted peppers, and olives. In a separate small bowl, beat the egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto 1 half of each dough circle, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and, using the tines of a fork, press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough circles.
- Brush the calzones with the remaining egg mixture. Bake for 14 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the calzones are golden brown. Serve on a platter with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Note To make it easier to cut fontina cheese, freeze it for 15-20 minutes.
