Overview
This gourmet jumbo "hot pocket" features locally made, pizza dough packed then folded with whole milk mozzarella, ricotta, Italian sausage & nitrite-free pepperoni. House-made marinara included for dipping, of course. Makes 2-3 servings.
Cooking instructions
Set out the pizza dough and let it come to room temperature (~ 15 to 20 minutes).
- Place the oven rack on the bottom level of oven. Preheat the oven to 400 F. While the oven is preheating, prepare the calzone filling. Place the Ricotta Cheese Blend, mozzarella cheese and the Italian sausage crumble in the medium bowl. Rough chop the pepperoni into 1/4-inch pieces and add that as well. Mix with your hands or a spoon to thoroughly combine the filling.
For Baking:
- Use 2 tablespoons of flour to dust counter top, rolling pin, and hands with flour. Place the pizza dough on floured counter top and roll out to be roughly 10 inches wide (in diameter). If dough stretches back, let it rest for 5 minutes and roll again. Use 1-2 tablespoons of the flour to dust the medium sized sheet tray. (Alternatively, line the sheet tray with parchment paper for easier clean-up.) Place the rolled out dough onto the prepared sheet tray.
- Spread 3 tablespoons of the tomato pizza sauce and half of the cheesy garlic oil on one half of the dough, leaving approximately a 1/2-inch space from the edge. Take the cheese and meat blend and spread it over the same half of the dough as the tomato sauce. To help seal the edge of the calzone prior to folding, rub a small amount of water on the edge of the dough with the fillings. Now fold the other half of the dough over to form a half moon. Press the edges down well with your fingers to finish sealing. Cut two, 1/4-inch holes (you can use a sharp knife or kitchen shears) in the top of the dough for venting. spread the remaining cheesy galic oil across the top. Bake until the crust is golden brown (~18-22 minutes).
- Slice the calzone into 2-4 pieces after cooled for two minutes. Serve with the remaining pizza sauce for dipping.
