Calzone...at my Kitchen Zone

Sandwich sized Calzone are often sold at Italian /Pizza places .Not only they are very easy to eat but I bet it was very easy to prepare .Those are the days where we venture out for something special to eat other than rice and rotis..and here comes the home made with our lovely hands. With love being an ingredient in home made, it sure make the dish delicious. You could cram the dough full of vegetables and cheese baked in the oven and crave for some more...

Being inspired by the Spicy treats and with little addition from my side, I have altered the dish ( just the part about the veggies) and made it simple. For those who have no idea about making something out of All Purpose Flour/Maida , this is the best recipe to try. I have been on this page where I dont know to make chapathis or anything, and being now to try this recipe was quite rewarding for me.

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• All Purpose Flour - 1 and 1/4 cup
• Whole Wheat Flour - 1 and 1/4 cup
• Yeast - 1 package active dry yeast or 2tsp
• Sugar- 1tsp
• Salt & Water - needed
• Oil - 1tsp

Method

1) In a bowl add yeast and sugar mixed with warm water.Wait till 2- 3 minutes .

2)You can add all the dry and wet ingredients which will become like big dough.

3)Keep this dough rested in a bowl for about 60 minutes. For the best, I waited for 2 hours.



Meanwhile, we can start making the vegetables which we are going to stuff inside this calzone pocket.

Ingredients:

• Frozen Mixed vegetables(carrots,Red Pepper,Brocolli) - 1.5 cups
• Turmeric/haldi - 1 tsp
• Coriander powder - 1 tsp
• Garam Masala - 1 tsp
• Salt and oil as needed

Method:

1) In a vessel, Add all the frozen vegetables with masalas and stir fry it. As soon as the vegetables get ready, you can swtich off the flame and start assembling the vegetables inside the dough which is already double in size.

These are the ingredients, need to be stuffed inside the dough.

Ingredients

• Onions
• Bell Pepper
(Dint have those)
• Mozarella cheese
• Prego Pizza /Pasta Sauce - as needed
• Water - 4 tsp
• Milk or oil - Brush

Method


1) Once the dough has risen, punch down the air and make medium sized balls.

2) Take a ball and round in to circle shape just like the phulkas/roti.

3) Put the Prego sauce and the vegetables ,Onion on it.

4) Add some cheese and wet the edges around the dough. Make it like a semicircle by folding it and press it around the edges with a fork .Also dont forget to brush it with some milk or oil on top and prick with fork on top.

5)Keep repeating the whole process till you are done with the dough.

6)Bake on 375 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes.

Serve Hot with Sauce.
