Calzones from scratch
Ramadan Kareem to any muslim in this app who has ever interacted with any of my posts of the recipes I've made! May Allah accept your fasting and your duas! ❤️
Since today was the second day of fasting, I decided to make for my family a recipe I really love! And that's homemade calzones.
I love homemade calzones and literally anything when I have to make it from scratch. It is time-consuming indeed, but in the end, it's all worth it.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a cup, put the dried yeast, sugar and salt, and around 100 ml or lukewarm milk. Stir that up and let it rise for 5 to 8 minutes
- 2
In a bowl, add the rest of the lukewarm milk, add to whole eggs, and 2 tbsp of sunflower and mix it all together.
- 3
Once the yeast mixture has risen, add that to the milk, eggs, and oil combination and mix it thoroughly
- 4
Then, proceed by adding 1kg of flour and knead it with your hand or stand mixer
- 5
If the dough is too sticky like in my case add some flour around the bowl and proceed kneading for 3 to 5 minutes.
- 6
In a floured surface, knead the dough enough until it's formed into a ball and place it in a preheated turned off oven of 80°C so the dough can rise for one hour. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and a towel.
I usually do this technique where I preheat the oven up to 80°C and then turn it off so the dough can rise faster.
- 7
While the dough rises, roast the chicken breast and prepare the bechamel sauce.
Bechamel sauce recipe can be found on the chicken pesto pasta on my blog
- 8
After the dough has risen, it should be doubled in size, punch it so it can let all the air out. Knead it for about 3 minutes and start diving it into mini balls
- 9
Cover the mini balls with plastic wrap and a towel so they don't dry up while opening the rest up.
- 10
Open a ball into a flat disc, put in the ingredients, close it up, and then repeat the same process with the rest of the dough. I did around six with bechamel, chicken, and mozzarella mix..and the rest with pomodoro, chicken, and mozzarella mixture.
- 11
Place them in 3 baking sheets, cover them with plastic wrap and towels, and let them rise again, this time for 30 minutes. Again, in a preheated (turned off oven)
- 12
After they have risen, take them off of the oven and turn on the oven at 200°C. While the oven is reaching the heat, brush the calzones with egg wash and make three little cuts shown as in the photo
- 13
Place them in the oven, and let them bake for about 15 to 20 minute, do check them constantly so they don't over bake.
- 14
After around 18 minutes, take them off of the oven and sprinkle some water over the calzones and once again cover them with plastic wrap and a towel. Let them rest for about 5 minutes before eating.

Enjoy!

This is such a fun recipe to put together. The kids love to help make calzones. It seems like a lot of work, but it honestly comes together so easily and the extra bit is very much worth it.

Leccese Calzone Leccese Calzone
I just had to make Calzone at home—having a picky Salento-born partner, there was no way we could go without the famous, undisputed king of Leccese street food. And don’t you dare call it a Panzerotto! 😂In fact, he helped me make it.For the recipe, I turned to my friends from Salento, who shared with me the traditional ingredients and secrets.

20-Minute Calzone 20-Minute Calzone
When I started preparing breakfast one day, I realized all the sudden that we didn't have any cooked rice nor bread. I was wondering if I should just start cooking rice in a hurry, when I decided to make something with flour. But I didn't have any cake flour either, so I somehow started making a pizza-like dough. I kneaded some bread flour, but didn't let the dough proof, spread tomato ketchup on, put the filling in, and baked in a frying pan.The amounts of ingredients in this recipe are estimates, but it'll work out okay. Just add enough hot water to bring the dough together. For the filling, if you use any ingredients that take time to cook, parboil or heat through beforehand. It is recommended to use plenty of cheese. Be careful not to burn yourself when you eat, since the filling is very hot when calzone is just done! Recipe by *mocomoco*

What more does a person need in a day than one massive calzone. I translated the diet advice of the Dutch Food Centre into a single recipe. My advice? Don't eat this. The only thing this will bring you is the knowledge that a diverse diet throughout the day is absolutely lovely. Also, we are going to make a Thangzhong.

My first attempt at making a calzone. Feel free to use ready made dough or Cresent roll dough from the store for an even quicker recipe! Also, don't be afraid when moving your calzone after it has been folded, with confidence and quickness even the thinnest of dough's will transfer to a new dish just fine.

Pepperoni and Cheese Calzone Pepperoni and Cheese Calzone
On Friday, I made sourdough pizzas and had some leftover dough. So, I saw Kikey's recipe and thought... it's been so long since I made a Calzone! So the next day, with what I had left, I prepared this big empanada (as my husband likes to call it) and it was a hit. We ate 2... well-fed, but I think it serves about 3. You can also make it with traditional pizza dough.
