Recipe - Calzone

1 1/3 cup Water
2 tablespoon Olive oil
2/3 teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Oregano
4 cup Bread flour
2 One half teaspoon Yeast

SPINACH FILLING
10 One half ounce Frozen chopped spinach
Garlic powder
2 tablespoon Olive oil
1 cup Provolone cheese; grated +
1 cup Mozzarella cheese; grated +

Remove dough from machine and roll it into circles of approximately 8
inches. Spread filling on one half of the circle leaving a border around it
for closing.

Close the calzone by folding the unfilled side on top of the filled side
and crimping the edges closed with your fingers or a fork. Place on a
lightly greased baking pan. Let rise approx. 30 minutes. Brush lightly with
olive oil and bake at 500 degrees for 2030 minutes or until puffed and
golden. (I bake them at 485 degrees for 15 minutes in my oven.)

The original recipe says to put 1 One half to 2 tablespoons each or ricotta and
grated mozzarella cheese in each calzone. My favorite filling is the
following......

SPINACH FILLING : Saute thawed spinach in olive oil and garlic powder until
all water has evaporated. (I squeeze out excess liquid first) Mix cheeses
into spinach. You may substitute frozen chopped broccoli for spinach.

NOTES : I LOVE these!!! I serve them with a spaghetti sauce that has
sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc. and they are GREAT! Hope you
enjoy them! I used to eat them at the mall and wish I knew how to make
them! Let us know what you think! This recipe that we use is found in Donna
German's book II.
