Ham And Cheese Calzones
Ingredients
* 2 cups flour -- to 2 1/2 cups
* 1 package dry yeast
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup water
* 1/2 cup butter or margarine
* 1 egg -- beaten
* 4 ounces ham; fully cooked -- chopped (sandwich meat works)
* 8 ounces ricotta cheese
* 6 ounces mozzarella cheese -- shredded
* 1/4 cup parmesan cheese -- grated
* 4 cups olive oil
Directions
* For dough, stir together 1 cup flour, yeast and salt. In a sauce pan
heat water and butter just til warm (115 to 120) and butter is almost melted;
stir constantly. Add to flour mixture. Stir vigorously till well combined. Stir
in as much of the remaining flour as you can. Turn dough out onto lightly
floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff
dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape into a ball.
Place in a greased bowl, turn once. Cover and let rise in a warm place till
double (30 to 45 minutes). For filling, Stir together egg, ham, ricotta,
mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Set aside. Punch dough down. Cover and let
rest for 10 minutes. Divide dough into 8 portions and roll out each into a 7"
circle. Spoon about 2 rounded tablespoons filling onto half of each circle of
dough. Fold dough over filling, fold under edges, and pinch to seal. Fry
calzones, a few at a time, in hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes
or till golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
