Spanish Calazone
- Ingredients
- DOUGH
- 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 1/2-3 cups flour
- FILLING
- 1 lb ricotta cheese
- 2 minced garlic clove
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 1 lb fresh spinach (10 oz pkg of frozen spinach, thawed, works fine)
- 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 dash nutmeg
- salt
- pepper
- Filling:.
- 2If using fresh spinach, wash, stem and finely chop, steam it quickly on medium high heat, adding no additional water. When wilted and deep green, remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon. (if using frozen - thaw and squeeze out as much moisture as you can).
- 3Saute onion and garlic in butter till translucent and soft.
- 4Combine all ingredients, mix well, salt and pepper to taste.
- 5Dough:.
- 6Soften together yeast, water and honey.
- 7Add salt and flour to make a soft dough. Knead 10 minutes, or till smooth and elastic, adding flour if necessary to keep from being sticky.
- 8Cover and let rise till doubled (about 1 hour - less if using rapid rise yeast).
- 9Punch down. Divide into six sections and roll out in rounds 1/4 inch thick.
- 10Fill with 1/2-3/4 cup filling, placing filling on one half of the circle, leaving a 1/2 inch rim.
- 11Moisten the rim with a little water, fold the empty side over, and crimp the edges.
- 12Prick here and there with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- 13Bake on an oiled tray (I use a baking stone) in a preheated 450 oven for 15-20 minutes or till crisp and lightly browned.
- 14Brush each pastry with a little butter as it comes from the oven.
