Chocolate Calzone - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 lb pizza dough, premade at your grocery store
2 (15 ounce) cartons whole milk ricotta cheese
2 cups superfine sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate, melted in microwave (or use double boiler)
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 pinch salt
2 egg whites, beaten until frothy
Preparation
-
Preheat Pizza Stone in 450 degree oven for at least 30 minutes.
OR use a flat sided or upside down cookie sheet.
Place Ricotta in a bowl, add one hand full of sugar and the vanilla and whisk well.
Add in the melted chocolate, little by little.
On a lightly floured peel or board, roll pizza dough out into two (2) 12\" rounds about 1/4 thick.
Spoon 1 cup of chocolate filling into center of each round.
Place the remaining chopped chocolate on top.
Brush to the edges of the dough with beaten egg white and fold each round in 1/2.
Fold edges over as you would a pie crust and press to seal completely.
Brush off excess flour from dough and brush with more egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
Slide chocolate calzone onto preheated pizza stone or cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
