REAL ITALIAN CALZONES

Steps:

• To Make Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the oil, sugar and salt; mix in 1 cup of the flour until smooth. Gradually stir in the rest of the flour, until dough is smooth and workable. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it is elastic. Lay dough in a bowl containing 1 teaspoon olive oil, then flip the dough, cover and let rise for 40 minutes, or until almost doubled.
• To Make Filling: While dough is rising, combine the ricotta cheese, Cheddar cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms and basil leaves in a large bowl. Mix well, cover bowl and refrigerate to chill.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• When dough is ready, punch it down and separate it into 2 equal parts. Roll parts out into thin circles on a lightly floured surface. Fill each circle with 1/2 of the cheese/meat filling and fold over, securing edges by folding in and pressing with a fork. Brush the top of each calzone with egg and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

HAWAIIAN CALZONE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
• Prepare the pizza base as directed on the packet.
• While it rises, cut the pineapple chunks into smaller pieces if you are using canned pineapple chunks.
• In a bowl, combine the pineapple with the ham and cheese.
• When it has risen, divide the pizza dough into four even portions. On a floured surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch round.
• Beat the egg and brush the edge of each base with beaten egg.
• Spread pizza sauce over each base. Top with even portions of the filling over half of each round.
• Fold over the dough and press the eggy edges gently to seal.
• Crimp the edges of each calzone to thoroughly seal (I like to roll the edges as you would for a Cornish pasty).
• Brush each calzone with beaten egg.
• Lay the calzones carefully on a greased pan and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
