Snake-Shaped Calzone
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
  • 1 (4 ounce) package sliced pepperoni
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
1
Combine sugar and warm water in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a dough hook attachment. Sprinkle yeast over the water mixture, allowing it to sit for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes soft and forms a foamy texture. Gradually add oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour into the mixture while it's being mixed on Low speed until a wet dough forms. Continue to mix with the machine running, adding 1 cup of flour in small increments and kneading until the dough forms a smooth ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the dough reaches a smooth and elastic consistency.
2
Anoint a large bowl with oil; gently place the dough inside, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm environment until it has doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
3
In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, pepperoni slices, parsley, Italian seasoning, olives, green peppers, and mushrooms. Set the filling mixture aside.
4
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
5
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Roll it out into a long, flat rectangle measuring 9 inches wide and 30 inches long. Place the filling mixture down the center of the dough strip, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides for sealing. Fold the edges of the dough together and pinch to form a tight seal, creating a long, filled roll. Place the roll seam-side down onto the parchment paper in an 'S' shape and tuck the ends underneath to seal. In a separate bowl, beat an egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the egg wash over the calzone.
6
Bake the calzone in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it's golden brown. Allow the calzone to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into individual slices.
