Chicken calzone pizza
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. "Hidden passion" — that's what calzone is called in central regions of Italy. This pizza was invented for discerning gourmets, as chefs no longer knew how to surprise their guests. Its advantage lies in the fact that the flavor and aroma of spices and filling don't dissipate quickly, as they do with open pizza—actually, they don't disappear at all. Try surprising your loved ones with Italians' "hidden passion." 1. Let's start with the dough. Crack two eggs into a bowl, add warm milk, and whisk everything together. 2. Sift the flour. Gradually add the egg and milk mixture into the flour. Knead the dough. Add salt. 3. Roll the dough into a ball, place it in a warm spot to "rest." It's better to grease the bowl where the dough will rise with olive oil. 4. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit). 5. Cut chicken fillet into small pieces and fry on each side until fully cooked. 6. Roll out the prepared dough into a circular flat shape. Mentally divide it in half. 7. In a bowl, mix together the chicken, chopped tomato, chopped basil, and grated Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses. 8. Place the filling onto one half of the dough. Cover with the other half and seal the edges, like a dumpling. 9. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease it with olive oil. Carefully transfer the calzone onto the tray and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. The chicken calzone will turn golden brown and release a delicious aroma. You'll definitely love it!
