Broccoli Potato Calzone Recipes

BROCCOLI AND CHEESE CALZONE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella and broccoli. Mix well. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Roll dough out to a 12-inch circle. Spread cheese filling over 1 side of circle, to within 1-inch of the edge. Lift 1 side of dough and fold over so that it meets the other side, forming a half moon, and pinch the edges together to seal.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Transfer calzone to a large baking sheet sprinkle the top with cheese. Bake 15 minutes, until puffed up golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

BROCCOLI CALZONES

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion; cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add broccoli, garlic, and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; set aside to cool.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Form calzones: Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, stretch each piece out, first to a 3-by-4-inch oval, then stretch again, this time to a 6-by-8-inch oval. (Let dough rest a few minutes if too elastic to work with.)
• Stir cheeses into cooled broccoli mixture; season generously with salt and pepper. Assemble calzones: Spread a rounded 1/2 cup broccoli mixture over half of each piece of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border; fold over to form a half-moon. Press edges to seal. With a paring knife, cut 2 slits in the top of each calzone.
• Using a wide metal spatula with a thin blade, transfer calzones to 2 baking sheets lined with parchment or waxed paper; reshape if needed.
• Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Serve with tomato sauce, if desired.

BROCCOLI POTATO CALZONE

Steps:

• Load ingredients for pizza dough into ABM per your manufacturer's instructions.
• Set on dough cycle.
• Remove when dough has completed second kneading.
• While dough is being processed, make calzone filling: Place peeled and diced potatoes in saucepan with desired amount of Kosher salt and steam just until tender (can be pierced easily with a fork).
• As soon as potatoes are tender, drain thoroughly and return to saucepan to "dry out" for a couple of minutes.
• Then, while still HOT, add lemon juice, basil, oregano, and garlic.
• While potatoes are steaming, place broccoli pieces in a wide saucepan.
• Sprinkle with Kosher salt to taste.
• Use a measuring cup to drizzle HOT water over top of broccoli, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
• Cover TIGHTLY.
• When water begins to boil, immediately turn off heat, without raising lid, and broccoli will finish cooking.
• Allow broccoli to steam for about 10 minutes.
• When bread machine completes second kneading, remove dough and divide into 2 pieces, one slightly larger than the other.
• Roll the larger piece to fit the shape of your pizza peel/pan.
• Preheat oven to 450 deg F.
• Lightly spray the peel/pan with the cooking spray and place the lower crust on it.
• Gently add the broccoli to the potato/herb mixture, taking care not to "mush" broccoli.
• Spread vegetables over rolled crust on peel/pan, leaving about 1"-2" around the outer edge to fold over for seal.
• Sprinkle cheese over veggies (if using).
• Roll the smaller piece of dough into the same shape and place over potato/broccoli filling.
• Bring outer edges of lower crust up and fold over top crust to form a seal on the top, all the way around.
• Bake in preheated 450 deg oven, preferably on a pizza stone, for 15 minutes , or until lightly browned.
• Allow to cool about 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve warmed pasta sauce as a topping or side, if desired.
