What Dominos makes you pay a bomb for, you can easily make at home! Here’s how…
Ingredients:
For the crust-
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup Maida
- 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Atta + 1 tbsp for dusting
- 1 tsp Yeast
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Honey
- Oil - 4 tbsp
For the filling-
Any dry vegetables will do.spinach-paneer, roasted peppers, mushroons and onions, Aloo ki Sabji etc work very well. You’ll need approx 1 1/2 to 2 cups of veggies for filling.
Method:
- Warm water. Add honey. Add yeast. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
- Sieve the Madia, Whole wheat Atta and Salt. Add flour-salt mix to the dissolved yeast and whisk into a smooth dough. Knead by folding for about 1-2 minutes till dough is smooth. Set aside for 2-4 hours or until doubled in volume in a well oiled bowl.
- Punch to release air and divide into 2 portions.
- Preheat oven to 250 C.
- Roll out one portion into a 6 inch round dusting with some flour. Place filling on one half of the circle, fold the other side over to form a crescent shaped Calzone. Seal the edges (use a fork and press if you want it to look pretty).
- Using a spatula tranfer to a greased baking tray. Bake at 250C for 15 minutes until golden brown. Makes 2 individual portions

Mandira’s notes- I used capsicum, onions and paneer for the filling along with chillie flakes and oregano. The calzones go very well with any soup.
Lakshmi’s notes- I borrowed the idea for spinach feta filling from this recipe for a casserole calzone at Cooking Light. Instead of the regular cresent shape, I folded the dough into a rectangular pocket.




Sure looks great..girls wish I had that slice!..Laks..surely something of this for our meet??..puleesseeeeeeeee..
Nice job, girls! the calzone looks great!
Ok, both of you are super duper fast with your comments!!!

first time here. I came via lakshmi’s yum blog. God you all seem to have everything here. I think i can quench my thirst for baking here in this blog. thanks to all for this gr8 blog.
@kamala-thank u! come on over for a taste anytime!:)
@dhivya- and now u can!
@priya-thanks!
@HC-we love them too.
@lakshmi v-welcome to our expreiments in baking…do let us know if u try out something….
Thanks Mandira for the link! I have to admit that I’m a bit intimidated by all this..sounds like some expert heavy duty stuff..hell I didnt even know that something called allpurpose flour existed!
This one sounds very interesting, but is there a healthier alternative to using maida? My husband is trying to lose weight and was wondering if anything can be done about it!
@gooddaysunshine – the recipe already uses 50% maida and 50% whole wheat atta.
for a 100% whole wheat version you can use about 1 cup of water with 1.5 – 2 cups of whole wheat in the recipe above. however if you’re baking bread or pizza/ calzone base for the first time, i’d recommend you try a 50:50 and then do a 100% version.
as u can see, GDS, technical stuff u need to direct to lakshmi! i only read and follow recipies as provided! hehehe.. nice to see u actually stopped by!
