Homemade calzone with Feta

Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 250 g lukewarm water
  • 1 sachet (8 g) of dry yeast
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 400 g all-purpose flour
  • Salt
  • 2 tbsp oil

For the filling:

  • 200 g DODONI Feta cheese
  • 5-6 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small green pepper
  • Pepper
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 2-3 tsp olive oil

Process

  1. Add the water, the yeast and the sugar in a bowl and stir. Set aside for 10 minutes, so the yeast can activate.
  2. Add the flour, salt and olive oil and mix well either by hand or with a hand mixer to make a soft dough. Cover and set aside to rise for about 2 hours.
  3. While the dough rises, prepare the filling.
  4. Crumble the feta in a bowl. Add cherry tomatoes cut in slices and the green pepper in small cubes. Add pepper, oregano and oil and mix well. If desired, you can also add olives or onions.
  5. Remove the dough from the bowl after two hours and cut it into 4 pieces. Rollout each piece into a thin round disc. If sticky, add some flour.
  6. Once rolled, add ¼ of the filling in the middle, brush with water the edges of the dough (to better secure when folding) and fold in half. Pinch it shut with either your fingers or a fork.
  7. Place the calzones in a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  8. Brush them with a little olive oil and bake at 180 oC for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Serve either hot or lukewarm once the filling has set.
