Calzone
Submitted by: Adam
 A Calzone is basically a wraped up pizza in a dough crust.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 1/2 cup(s) , unbleached white flour
  • 1 cup(s) , warm water
  • 1 ounces , fresh yeast
  • 1 pinch , salt
  • 1/4 cup(s) , olive oil
  • 3/4 pound(s) , mortadella sausage
  • 2 whole , red bell pepper
  • 2 whole , yellow bell pepper
  • 3 whole , medium onions
  • 4 tablespoon(s) , olive oil
  • 2 ounces , black olives
  • 1 to taste , sal and pepper

Instructions:
Prepare the dough:

Place the warm water in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast over it. Stir to dissolve and let stand for 5 minutes. Add the olive oil. You can now prepare the dough either by hand, with a heavy-duty electric mixer with a dough hook, or with a food processor.

By hand:

Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl or on a work surface. Add the yeast mixture and mix until well-blended. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board. Knead it until it is smooth and elastic, adding more flour or water as necessary to achieve this.

By heavy-duty electric mixer:

Place the flour and salt in the bowl and mix on low speed. While mixing, add the yeast mixture and mix until the dough forms a smooth and elastic mass. Add more flour or water, as needed, to achieve this.

By food processor:

Place the flour and salt in a food processor and mix. While the machine is running, add the yeast mixture and process the dough until it is smooth. Add more flour or water, as needed, to achieve this.

Continue with making the dough:

Shape the dough into a ball. Place it in an oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it double in size, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and divide it into four equal pieces. Roll each dough ball into a 10 inch cm circle. Let them rest, covered with a kitchen towel, for 30 minutes.

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling:

Chop the mortadella into small cubes. Halve, core, and dice the bell peppers. Peel and finely chop the onions. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the peppers for 5 minutes and then add the onions. Lower the heat and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Pit the olives and stir them in with the sausage and cook for another 5 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Let the mixture cool before handling it.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. 230 degrees C.

Place the filling on one half of the pizza round. Fold the other half over, making a half-moon shape. Press the edges with moistened fingers to seal. Grease a large baking sheet. Arrange the calzone on the sheet. Bake, on the lowest rack, for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffy. Let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
