Sweet, pear filled calzone.
Ingredients
- 1 Ball plain pizza dough (Refer to recipe)
- 3 ripe pears (peeled and diced)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter / Nuttelex
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure icing sugar
Optional
Directions
1.
|
Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with baking paper. |
2.
|
Melt the butter / Nuttelex in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the pears and stir to coat them. Cook for 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown and soft, but not mushy. |
3.
|
Add the sugar and whisky (if using), stir and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and coated the pear. Remove from the heat and set aside. |
4.
|
On a lightly floured surface roll the pizza dough into a 30cm diameter circle. |
5.
|
Place the pear mixture evenly over the dough, leaving 1cm around the edges. |
6.
|
Carefully lift the top edge of the dough towards you and fold the dough in half so that you have a semi-circle. Crimp the edges together to seal the calzone. | |
7.
|
Carefully lift the calzone onto the baking tray. |
8.
|
Place the baking tray low in the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dough is golden on top and the filling heated through. | |
9.
|
Remove the calzone from the oven, sprinkle with icing sugar, slice and serve. Serve on its own or with some vanilla ice cream, vanilla custard or cream. | |
