Pepperoni Cheese Bread / Calzone image

This recipe uses a scone/damper dough for the bread, so no major kneading or waiting around for dough to rise. What you use to fill it is limited only by your imagination - pepperoni, ham, chicken, whatever takes your fancy! Note: you can make self-raising flour by mixing 2 cups all-purpose flour with 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt.

Time 40m

Yield 1 loaf, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups self-raising flour, sifted (see note)
1/2 cup fresh oregano, chopped (or 1/4 cup dried)
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1 tablespoon milk
250 g cream cheese
1 tablespoon milk
200 g sliced mushrooms, sauteed (or tinned)
200 g pepperoni slices (or ham, chicken, etc)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Combine flour and oregano in a large bowl. Combine sour cream and milk and stir in to dry ingredients. Mix quickly to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a lightly-floured surface. Knead gently, then press or roll dough into a rectangle shape, about 5mm (1/4 inch) thick.
  • Beat cream cheese with milk until smooth. Spread evenly over dough, leaving a 1cm (1/2 inch) border. Top the cream cheese with pepperoni slices, mushrooms and cheddar cheese. Brush the beaten egg around the border, then fold the dough over and crimp the edges with a fork.
  • Place the bread on a lightly-greased (or lined) baking tray. Cut a few slits across the top of the dough and brush with extra beaten egg. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in a hot oven (200C/400F) for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with a green salad or slice into finger food size snacks.
