RE: Today's Test Lunch: Homemade Whole Wheat Calzones
My family loves something similar.. Stromboli! It's like a big rolled up pizza! We use mozz cheese, a little ricotta (if I can find it here in Panama), spinach, banana peppers, and maybe a little meat of some sort too! Now I'm hungry! Would love for you to share your wheat crust recipe?!
That sounds really good! We had to look up the difference between a calzone and stromboli because where we are here in North Texas there is not a significantly large Italian culture influence.
The recipe is very straight forward, no proofing. To me, it's more similar to flatbread than pizza crust, but we still enjoy it.
2 cups whole wheat flour
2-1/4 teaspoons rapid yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons coconut sugar
3/4 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup water (120°F - 130°F)
3 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, dry yeast, coconut sugar.
Add water and olive oil, Mix well until blended using wooden spoon or silicone scraper.
Gradually add remaining flour until a soft, sticky dough ball forms. Handle on floured surface with floured hands. Bake on oiled surface.
Options we have tested:
Thin, crunchy crust- pat into thin circle, dock and pre-bake naked for 5-7 minutes. Then top and bake another 8-10.
Soft pan pizza- pat out onto oiled pizza pan and dock. Top and bake 10-14 minutes.
Calzone- cut dough ball in half. Pat out into rectangle or circle. Fill, vent and bake 10 minutes.
