DIRECTIONS
1 Install the dough blade in the Precision Processor®
Bowl. Place the yeast, sugar, and warm water in
the bowl and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
2 After 5 minutes, add the olive oil, flour, and salt.
Install the lid, then select DOUGH.
3
Remove dough ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise for
45 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
4 While dough is rising, clean the bowl, then install
the chopping blade in it. Place all sauce ingredients
in the bowl. Install the lid, then select PUREE.
Transfer sauce to a mixing bowl and set aside.
5 Once dough ball has risen, preheat oven to
425°F. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper
and set aside.
6 Cut dough ball in half. Lightly flour each ball
and use a rolling pin to roll each into a 12-inch
disc. Place on the prepared pans.
7 Place a / cup sauce on each round and spread
sauce on the bottom half only, leaving a 1 /-inch
border around the edge.
8 Top sauce with cheese and fillings, then fold
exposed dough over toppings to form a half-
moon shape.
9 Press edges of dough together to seal, brush
with whisked egg mixture, and cut 3 slits in the
top of each calzone with a sharp knife.
10 Place pans in oven and bake for 20–25 minutes
or until golden brown.
