In my last post about Mini Pizzas I had mentioned that I used half the pizza dough to make two fully loaded calzones.
The recipe for the Calzones is from the book “The best ever Vegetarian Cookbook" by Linda Fraser.I used the delicious and surprisingly tasty Eggplant filling as a topping for one of the pizzas too.
You will need:
For the dough:
1 packet (7g/ ¼ oz) active dry yeast
2 ½ to 3 cups All purpose flour
1 ½ tbsp Olive oil
1 ½ tsp Salt
1 Cup Warm water (110 F)
For the filling:
4 Baby eggplants cubed
3 Shallots chopped
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 tsp Crushed red pepper
Salt and Pepper
1 tbsp Oil
10 Sun dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
1 Garlic clove chopped
1-2 tbsp Shredded Parmesan
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and form into 2 balls. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Let rest for 15 minutes, then transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll out into 2 8-inch circles
Since these Calzones were so big, they lasted me a good two days! :-D They just got better and better!!

ReplyDeleteHi Namratha,
ReplyDeleteA couple of days back I posted a similar recipe in my blog, using refrigerated pizza dough. At that time I didn't know that they were calzones and named it as eggless spicy buns. I thought that I had come with something new. Then one of the blogger friends told me that it's called calzones.
Glad to see the original thing here. Maybe you can also try it with the refrigerated pizza dough and make your life more easy.
It looks very tasty. i will try it for sure.You can visit me at my site
