Perfect Every Time Pizza or Calzone Dough image

Ready in a snap and my kids love it! This can be used for pizza dough too. My dear chef friend Darrin Gleason shared this recipe with me over ten years ago while attending college. It has been a go-to recipe for my family for all these years and I thought I should share it with my cooking community.

PIZZA CALZONE

Pizza Calzone image

A calzone unveils itself slowly, bite by bite, especially if you've layered the fillings with several elements. For those who can't give up the pie, I offer a pizza-calzone hybrid. Based on an elaborate dish I sampled at Don Antonio by Starita, a Midtown pizzeria, it has basil-perfumed ricotta and Parmesan in the center, and tomato sauce and melted mozzarella on top. It's the best of both worlds, and an unexpected thing to do with a ball of pizza dough.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
3/4 cup fresh ricotta
1 ounce Parmesan, grated (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped basil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
All-purpose flour, as needed
1 8-ounce ball pizza dough, homemade or purchased
1/3 cup tomato sauce
2 ounces fresh mozzarella, grated (1/2 cup)

Steps:

Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly oil.
In a bowl, stir together ricotta, Parmesan, basil and pepper.
Lightly flour a work surface, and stretch or roll the dough into a 12-inch round. Spread ricotta mixture on half the dough, leaving a half-inch border all around. Brush the edges of the dough with water and fold dough in half, over filling; pinch the edges of the dough together to seal.
Transfer calzone to baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil. Spoon tomato sauce over the calzone and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake until crust is firm and cheese is golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
