A calzone is an Italian oven-baked turnover, made with leavened dough. It originated in Naples

Ingredients

70gm Tomato puree

4gm Salt

4gm Pepper

100gm Flour

3gm Yeast

10ml Olive oil

100gm Mozzarella cheese

10gm Basil

1pcs Garlic

1pcs Onion

Preparation

STEP 1

Roll out the pizza dough into two 12-15cm circles, then split the mixture between them, piling it onto one side. Top with the mozzarella and remaining basil.

STEP 2

Close the calzone, pulling the side without the filling over, then crimp around the edge, so it looks like a giant Cornish pasty. Transfer to a floured baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until golden and puffed up.

STEP 3

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the onions, and cook on low heat until soft. Add the garlic and tomato purée. Cook for a few minutes then add the chopped tomatoes and oregano. Season generously and simmer for 20 mins, then allow to cool.
