Description

Calzone means 'trouser leg' in Italian, perhaps due to a resemblance or because this pizza turnover could be stuffed into a roomy trouser pocket!

Method

Step 1 of 10

Mix the flour and salt. Dissolve the yeast in 360ml tepid water, in a separate bowl.

Step 2 of 10

Add the oil to the yeast mix, then combine with the dry ingredients. Mix to form a dough.

Step 3 of 10

Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4 of 10

Roll the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl covered with oiled cling film.

Step 5 of 10

Leave in a warm place for 1-1 1/2 hours, until doubled; or store in the refrigerator overnight.

Step 6 of 10

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan, add the onions. Cook for 5 minutes until soft but not brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Step 7 of 10

Add the remaining oil to the pan, followed by the peppers, garlic, and half the herbs. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Sautè for 7-10 minutes, stirring, until soft but not brown. Add to the onions, and let cool.

Step 8 of 10

Knock back the dough and divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll and pull each piece into a square about 1cm thick. Spoon the pepper mixture onto a diagonal half of each square, leaving a 2.5cm border.

Step 9 of 10

Arrange the mozzarella on top. Moisten the edge of each square with water, and fold one corner over to meet the other, forming a triangle. Pinch the edges together. Put on a floured baking sheet. Let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 230°C.

Step 10 of 10

Whisk the egg with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and brush over. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Brush with a little olive oil before serving.
