A calzone (Italian pronunciation: [kalˈtsone]) is a savory turnover that originates from Italy. It is made as a type of pizza folded over and shaped like a crescent before cooked. This recipe includes a mouth-watering combination of cheese, meat and spinach and is shaped like a log although, if you prefer, go with the traditional shape. Ingredients:
pizza dough (store bought or your own recipe) |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/2 lb provolone cheese |
1/4 lb salami |
6 -8 cups spinach, washed, dried, spine removed |
2 eggs, beaten |
water (for securing seal) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Sprinkle flour on a flat surface.
3. Roll the dough into a rectangle.
4. Evenly spread cheese, salami, then spinach.
5. Gently roll, tucking in the sides pressing down as you roll to release some of the air from the spinache.
6. Dip fingers into water and rub on the edges to seal.
7. Baste with the beaten egg.
8. Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes or until top is golden brown.
