Calzones
Dough:
1 1/3 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
4 cups bread flour
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
SPINACH FILLING:
10 1/2 ounces frozen chopped spinach
garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup Provolone cheese, grated
1 cup Mozzarella cheese, grated
Add dough ingredients to bread machine according to your bread machines directions. Use dough setting.
Remove dough from machine and roll it into circles of approximately 8 inches. Spread filling on one half of the circle leaving a border around it for closing. Close the calzone by folding the unfilled side on top of the filled side and crimping the edges closed with your fingers or a fork. Place on a lightly greased baking pan. Let rise approx. 30 minutes. Brush lightly with olive oil and bake at 500 degrees F. for 20-30 minutes or until puffed and golden. The original recipe says to put 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons each of ricotta and grated mozzarella cheese in each calzone.
SPINACH FILLING:
Sauté thawed spinach in olive oil and garlic powder until all water has evaporated. (Squeeze out excess liquid first) Mix cheeses into spinach. You may substitute frozen chopped broccoli for spinach.
