Ingredients:
For the Dough:
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Filling:
2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Dough Delight:
In a bowl, mix yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it gets frothy – that’s the magic happening!
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.
Fill it Up, Buttercup:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Roll out the dough into a large circle. It’s time to get artsy with your toppings!
Spread marinara sauce like you’re Picasso painting a culinary masterpiece.
Layer on the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, olives, bell pepper, and fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper – you’re the boss of your flavour kingdom!
The Calzone Chronicles:
Fold the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Seal the edges by pressing them with a fork. This calzone is like a flavour-packed secret – keep it locked in!
Bake to Perfection:
Place your creation on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted to gooey perfection.
Chicken Calzone Victory Lap:
Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into that golden goodness and savour the moment of victory!
