A few days ago I made these delicious calzones, which are similar to a large empanada. This recipe is from the talented young Uruguayan @UnSaborDiferente. I loved her recipe—it turned out so tasty.

Steps

50 minutes

1

First, make the starter by mixing the yeast and sugar, then add a little water. Let it rise for a short time.
2

In a bowl, combine the flour and salt.
3

Make a well in the center, add the oil and warm water, and mix.
4

Add the yeast starter and mix again.
5

Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it well.
6

Once the dough is smooth and combined, cut it in half, shape into two medium balls, and roll both out.
7

Cut into thick strips as if making medium-sized pieces, and set aside.
8

Chop the onion and zucchini, and grate the carrot.
9

Add the onions and grated carrot to a skillet with a little oil.
10

Sauté over low heat for a bit.
11

Add the chopped zucchini, mix, and continue sautéing.
12

Add just enough water to cover the vegetables.
13

Almost at the end, add the cream cheese and seasonings, mix, and cook a little longer.
14

Once the filling looks ready, turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
15

After a few hours, once the filling is cool, place it carefully in one calzone, cover the filling, and seal the edges with a fork. Place on a greased and floured baking sheet.
16

It should look like a large empanada. Brush with a beaten egg.
17

Bake at 410°F (210°C) for 45 minutes. Place the other filled calzone on another greased and floured baking sheet.
18

After 45 minutes, they are ready.
19

Let them cool, then carefully remove from the baking sheet.
