Famous Calzone From Chez Panisse Restaurant
- 1 lb freshly made pizza dough (any good recipe you like)
- 2 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 ounces french goat cheese called boucheron cheese, crumbled (get a tangy one not a mild one - they differ)
- 7 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, grated
- 2 slices prosciutto, thicker than sandwich slices,diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped fine
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped fine
- 1/2 tablespoon thyme leaves, combined and chopped fine (Don't use stems)
- 1/2 tablespoon marjoram leaves, combined and chopped fine (Don't use stems)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, fresh medium ground
- Combine filling well and set aside.
- May be made several hours in advance and refrigerated.
- Preheat oven with pizza bricks already inside to 450* F.
- Roll the dough out into 4 circles.
- It has to be as thin as possible otherwise the dough doesn't cook on the inside.
- Put 1/4 of the filling on one half of one circle of dough, leaving an inch of margin space all around the edges.
- Moisten the edges with water and fold the other half over the filling to make the edges meet.
- Seal it tightly.
- Repeat this with the other three dough circles.
- Do not prick holes in it, and patch any holes you've accidentally made as tightly as you can.
- You are aiming for a steam-tight calzone.
- Put the calzones gently onto a pizza paddle, two at a time, on which you've flung some polenta, flour or cornmeal for ball bearings and slide them onto pizza bricks.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until quite brown on top.
- At the restaurant, it always arrives just a little charred on top.
- Remove from oven and brush with a little olive oil.
