Calzones Italian Pocket Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 packet or 1 tbsp. dry active yeast
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • In a bowl, add the yeast, honey and warm water and set it aside for 10 minutes for the yeast to activate and froth.
  • Add 2 ½ cups of flour and mix it well.
  • If the dough is not sticky any longer, then don’t add more flour. If it is sticky, then add the rest of the flour.
  • Move your dough to a board and knead it with your palms in the traditional kneading manner. Knead it for about five minutes. Your dough should be slightly sticky and very pliable.
  • Pour some olive oil in a bowl and move the dough into the bowl. Use a damp towel to cover the bowl and set it aside to rise for about 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Once it rises to about double the size, take it back to your board and flatten the dough with your fingers. Cut it into four equal pieces like you would cut a pizza.
  • Make four balls out of these four pieces and let it rise again for another 30 minutes. Your dough is ready.
