CALZONES
(Pizza Dough Stuffed with your Favorites)
|
3 lb. bag of Claro's Fresh Pizza Dough (makes 6 Calzones) |
You can fill these with ham, pepperoni, fresh vegetables, and all types of cheeses and spices. Let your imagination be your guide. There are as many variations as you would like. The fun starts when you make something special with your family. Here is a recipe for one of my favorite fillings:
Spinach & Ricotta Filling
| 2 lb. thawed frozen spinach | 3/4 lb. ricotta cheese |
| 1/2 cup Claro's grated romano cheese | 1 tsp. black pepper |
Mix all above ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Divide dough into approximately 8 oz. pieces, roll into balls and set aside on floured cookie sheet. Dust with flour, cover with tea towel or plastic wrap and allow to rest until dough doubles in size. Flatten dough and roll until 1/4 inch thick oval. Spread a good amount of filing onto dough. Roll like a jellyroll and set on oiled cookie sheet. Parchment paper works great if you have it. Brush with olive oil. Sprinkle a little cheese on top if you would like. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven until golden brown. Allow to cool and enjoy.
