Got Calzone???

SidewinderINC · 04-03-2012, 18:01

So, I decided last night that rather than pour away half of the sourdough starter I have in order to keep him fresh I'd use it to make some sour pizza dough.

Made up the dough and left it overnight in the fridge for the yeast to slowly nom away and get me some great elastic dough.

Up this morning, knock it back and put it out on the side to warm up and have a lovely second rise.

This afternoon I rolled/patted out the dough into a nice sized oval to start making the calzone

got all of the filling ready

Topped the bad boy, folded it and whacked it in the oven [pictures all still on iPhone, too lazy to get them right now

]

I may have been a bit ambitious with quantities...

That is a dinner plate, not a side plate....
I managed to get it onto the scales we have here and it weighed in at a nice 4lb

Monika and I had 1/4 each and the other half is going to be nommed for lunch tomorrow

I think this is the biggest calzone I've made, actually possibly the single biggest piece of food I've made - second being a 3lb stromboli

mmm.

I don't know what massive food to do next, probably the same again but with MORE MEAT!

I can quite honestly say, it's one of the best pizzas/calzones I have had, the dough was so soft and smooth and the filling was perfect.

Wow. That looks great. Although I'm slightly disappointed there isn't a photo of it cut down the middle!
