Bread-Machine Calzone Recipe
"Calzone" means "stocking" or "trouser" in Italian and is a folded pizza that every home pizza
cook should try. (You can still make this recipe even if you don't have a bread machine.)
1 Calzone
Cooking Time:
• 30mins -1 hour dough preparation (depends
on dough cycle selected)
• 35-45 minutes cooking
Ingredients
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon powdered milk
• 1 teaspoon olive oil (no bread machine)
• 3/4 cup sliced Italian sausage
• 3/4 cup pizza sauce
• 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions:
1. Place water, yeast, sugar, flour, salt and powdered milk in the pan of the bread machine, in the
order suggested by the manufacturer.
2. Select Dough cycle. After cycle is completed, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface.
If not using a bread machine:
2a. Stir the above ingredients together in a large bowl and knead the mixture 20 times.
2b. Shape the dough into a smooth ball and place it back in the bowl.
2c. Brush it lightly with olive oil, cover and allow to rise for 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, brown sausage for about 8 to 10 minutes in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain
excess fat and reserve.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Shape dough into a 16 inch by 10 inch rectangle. Transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet, and
spoon pizza sauce lengthwise down the center of the dough, followed by the browned sausage
and the cheese.
6. Folding the dough:
Option 1 – Diagonal Braiding: Make diagonal cuts 1 1/2 inches apart down each long side of the
dough rectangle, cutting to within 1/2 inch of the filling. Criss-cross cut strips of dough over the
filling to form a braid and seal edges with water.
Option 2 – Pinch the two ends together to form the seal.
Option 3 – Roll the two ends together to form the seal.
7. Brush top of calzone with melted butter.
8. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from
oven and cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
