Serves: 6 mini calzones
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Preparation time: 2 hours and 20 minutes
Ingredients:
– 500g plain flour
– 300ml water
– 5g dry instant yeast
– 40ml olive oil
– 11g salt
– 150g passata
– 1tbsp olive oil
– 1tsp dry oregano
– Salt and pepper as taste
– A pinch sugar
– 2 Primula Cheese tubes
– 70g ham
– 70g salami
Preparation:
1. Mix the water, salt, and olive oil in a jug.
2. Sift the flour into a stand mixer bowl and add the dry yeast. Hook attachment, mix at low speed for a few minutes, pour the water mixture slowly, and continue mixing everything at medium/low speed.
3. Once you have obtained a malleable dough, transfer it to a lightly floured work surface and knead it for about ten minutes to develop the gluten mesh, allowing you to get a pliable dough.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with clingfilm or a tea towel and let it rise in the oven for two hours.
5. Season the passata with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, and oregano.
6. When the quantity of the dough has tripled, divide it into six equal balls and work one portion at a time, keeping the others in the bowl covered.
7. Roll out the first ball of the dough into a small disc and transfer it to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spread a few tablespoons of passata on half the freshly rolled dough disc, then cover with salami slices and Primula Cheese. Fold the dough like a book to form a half-moon and seal the edges well to create a nice ledge. Repeat, filling some with ham.
9. Bake the mini calzones in a preheated fan oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes or at 160°C in an air fryer for 12-16 minutes.
10. Serve the mini calzones warm or store them in an air-tight container overnight and consume them the next day.
