Cheesy Chicken and Mushroom Calzone

The original pizza shape will captivate you with its juicy filling! An incredibly tasty dish: the filling is tasty, juicy, with a pleasant aroma of ingredients and spices. The dough is soft on the inside, crispy on top, just lick your fingers! The dough fits perfectly, it is very soft, elastic, very simple and easy to work with. The pizza turns out beautiful, rosy, it can be eaten with the family and can be offered to guests. I have only pleasant impressions from this recipe! I will be making this pizza often from now on. The funny name of this dish is reminiscent of the word “long johns” for a reason, since in Italian it is translated as “pants,” probably due to the fact that the thin dough is tight-fitting and stretched over the filling. It is precisely because the pizza is made closed that it turns out incredibly juicy, since the filling does not dry out. By the way, just like traditional pizza, you can put a variety of toppings on it,

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Dissolve yeast, salt and sugar in warm milk or water.

Step 3

Step 3
Sift the flour into the milk-yeast mixture.

Step 4

Step 4
Knead the plastic dough, roll it into a ball, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.

Step 5

Step 5
At this time, letʼs start filling. First of all, lightly fry the peeled, washed and chopped champignons in a small amount of vegetable oil (1-2 tbsp). Let them cool.

Step 6

We cut pre-fried or smoked chicken meat (I used fried fillet), tomatoes into semicircles, olives into rings.

In a separate container, mix all the filling ingredients: olives, tomatoes, chicken meat, cooled champignons (take them out of the pan carefully, without oil), cheese, onions cut into rings or half rings. Season and add spices.

Step 9

Step 9
Letʼs return to the test. It should come up 2-3 times.

Step 10

Step 10
Without kneading the risen dough, roll it into a round layer 4 mm thick (from the specified amount of ingredients I got 3 pieces of dough. I rolled out 3 layers for 3 calzones). Visually divide the dough layer into 2 halves. Place the filling on one of them. It is clear that for the 3rd calzone I divided the filling into 3 equal parts.

Step 11

Step 11
Cover the filling with the free half of the layer, carefully pinch the edges. We make 3 cuts. Brush with egg. Leave for 20 minutes in a warm place.

Step 12

Place the calzone on a baking sheet, place in an oven preheated to 200-220 degrees and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
