Spicy Chicken and Extra Sharp Cheddar Calzones
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Semolina Or Cornmeal
- 1/2 whole Cooking Onion, Sliced Thin
- 1 cup Leftover Cooked Chicken, Cubed
- 1/2 cups Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Cut Into Small Cubes
- 1/2 teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- 1/2 pounds Pizza Dough Or Master Bread Dough From Artisan Bread In Five Minutes A Day
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Drizzle olive oil over the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet or pan.
- Sprinkle semolina or cornmeal evenly over the oil.
- Set aside.
- In a bowl or on a cutting board, gently toss together the onions, chicken, cheese and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Set aside.
- Lightly flour your work surface and your rolling pin.
- Use rolling pin to roll the dough into an approximately 8 to 9 inch circle.
- Transfer the chicken, cheese, and onion mixture onto half of the circle of dough, leaving about 3/4 of an inch of bare dough around the edge.
- Carefully lift the empty part of the dough over the filling, tucking in any stray bits of filling that want to poke out.
- Fold edges back in on themselves and pinch together tightly to hold dough shut.
- Gently transfer to the prepared pan.
- Use a very sharp knife to slash two small steam vents in the calzone.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes (depending on how brown and crispy you like your calzones.)
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes prior to serving.
- Serve alone or with bleu cheese dressing or marinara sauce.
