HAWAIIAN CALZONE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F with your baking stone set inside for 30 minutes.
• On a cornmeal-sprinkled pizza peel (or other surface), roll out the pizza dough. Spread ricotta cheese over the dough surface, leaving a little room at the edge. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Spread the ham and pineapple over half of the dough and top that with shredded mozzarella cheese. Fold the dough over to form a pocket and press the edges to seal.
• Slide the calzone onto the baking stone and bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

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.
