Calzone

This one is short and (relatively) simple.  I have been hankering to make a calzone for a while. When Scott told me Wednesday that he requested dinner brought in to him at work, I thought this would make the perfect portable meal.

Calzone

Ingredients;
1 1/3 cups water
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 cups AP flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp bread machine yeast
pesto (see previous blog)
artichoke hearts
olives, sliced
feta cheese
mozzarella cheese, shredded

Procedure:

1) Put first six ingredients in a bread machine and set it on the pizza dough feature.
2) Cut the dough in half and roll it into two circles.
3) Put the pesto layer, cheese and toppings on half of the two circles.
4) Fold the dough over (pinching it tight) and transfer to a 425 oven for about 30 minutes.

  This is one of the few times where I prefer a bread machine to anything else.  However, the dough came out a little sticky so I might choose a different recipe next time.  The calzone came out perfect and Scott said it was his "best calzone ever."
