I got this recipe off the internet, it was very good and easy to do.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour -- to 2 1/2 cups shopping list
- 1 package dry yeast shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 cup water shopping list
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine shopping list
- 1 egg -- beaten shopping list
- 4 ounces ham; fully cooked -- chopped (sandwich meat works) shopping list
- 8 ounces ricotta cheese shopping list
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese -- shredded shopping list
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese -- grated shopping list
- 4 cups olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- For dough, stir together 1 cup flour, yeast and salt. In a sauce pan heat water and butter just til warm (115 to 120) and butter is almost melted; stir constantly. Add to flour mixture. Stir vigorously till well combined. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl, turn once. Cover and let rise in a warm place till double (30 to 45 minutes). For filling, Stir together egg, ham, ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Set aside. Punch dough down. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide dough into 8 portions and roll out each into a 7" circle. Spoon about 2 rounded tablespoons filling onto half of each circle of dough. Fold dough over filling, fold under edges, and pinch to seal. Fry calzones, a few at a time, in hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes or till golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
