Calzones

This new twist on a traditional pizza recipe is a cinch to make and a treat to eat. All you need is a bread machine and a few simple ingredients including Robin Hood Best For Bread Homestyle white flour and Robin Hood/SAF Perfect Rise Gourmet Yeast. Start with the basics like pizza sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese, and create your own personal calzone. Stuff with sliced pepperoni, mushrooms, green pepper, or if you're feeling more adventurous, hot chili peppers, shrimp, broccoli or chicken. Serve with salad and garlic bread for a fun and delicious meal that both you and your kids will love. TIPS: Vary fillings to suit your own personal taste allowing a maximum of 5 tablespoons of filling per calzone. Try broccoli and chicken or ham with cheddar cheese. Replace 2 cups Best For Bread Homestyle white flour with Best For Bread Whole Wheat or Multigrain Blend Flour. For a nice presentation, top calzones with extra sauce and mozzarella cheese, broil until cheese is melted and bubbling. To re-heat from frozen, place one calzone on microwave safe plate. Microwave uncovered on high for 1 minute, turn over and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute longer, or until heated through. Let stand for 1 minute before serving.
