Pizza Pocket And Calzone Dough Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup lukewarm water and yeast together in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• Combine 1/2 cup water, olive oil, honey, and salt in a separate bowl; add 1 cup flour and mix well. Mix yeast mixture into flour mixture. Add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is well combined.
• Knead dough on a floured work surface until dough is soft, smooth, and elastic, about 8 minutes. Roll dough into 4 calzone shapes.

Steps:

• Mix yeast with warm water and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Mix lemon juice with milk and set aside.
• In a large bowl combine both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and butter. Mix well.
• Add the yeast and milk mixtures to the dry mixture. Knead well, then let rise in the bowl for 30 minutes (or longer) with a clean towel covering it.
• Divide dough into 8-10 balls. Roll a ball out to about 1/8" thick, and about 6" diameter. *Sprinkle flour on your counter top and on your rolling pin to keep dough from sticking to the surfaces.*
• Pizza - spread a spoonfull of sauce leaving the outer inch of dough oncovered. Add about 3 tbsp of pizza toppings (ie 1 tbsp cheese, 1 tbsp ham, 1 tbsp pineable) to the middle. Fold dough in half and pinch edges closed.
• Other fillings - get creative with leftovers - anything that is freezable and bakable will be great!
• Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
• Let cool 5 minutes before serving, or cool completely then wrap individually in wax paper then freeze. Best if reheated in an oven, but can be heated in the microwave too.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 425 degrees.
• Combine ingredients in a bowl until the dough leaves the sides.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 times.
• Cover with a bowl for 15 minutes.
• Make a pizza or pizza pocket and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly oil.
• In a bowl, stir together ricotta, Parmesan, basil and pepper.
• Lightly flour a work surface, and stretch or roll the dough into a 12-inch round. Spread ricotta mixture on half the dough, leaving a half-inch border all around. Brush the edges of the dough with water and fold dough in half, over filling; pinch the edges of the dough together to seal.
• Transfer calzone to baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil. Spoon tomato sauce over the calzone and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake until crust is firm and cheese is golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
