Spinach and Ricotta Cheese Calzone
Ingredients
Crust:
(1) 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
1 envelope Fleischmann's® Pizza Crust Yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup very warm water (120 degrees to 130 degrees F)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Filling:
8 ounces Italian sausage
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon Italian Herb Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Pizza sauce (or substiute Marinara sauce)
Directions
1. Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large
bowl. Add warm water and oil; mix well until blended (about 1 minute).
Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should
form a ball and will be slightly sticky. (Note: Be sure to knead on a
floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary. Dough should be
smooth and elastic after about 4 minutes). Cover and allow dough to
rest on floured surface while preparing filling.
2. Cook sausage in skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly
cooked. Remove from skillet and drain excess fat. Add spinach and water
to skillet; sauté 1-2 minutes until spinach is wilted; drain. Return
sausage to pan.
3. Combine ricotta, mozzarella, and egg in a mixing bowl. Stir in
Italian herb seasoning, crushed red pepper and garlic salt; set aside.
4. To make calzones: divide dough into four portions. Roll 1 portion
into an 8-inch circle on a floured surface. Spread approximately 1/3
cup ricotta mixture in center bottom half of dough. Top with heaping
1/3 cup sausage and spinach mixture. Be sure to leave outer ½-inch free
of filling. Fold top half of dough over filling.
5. Pull edge of lower crust over top, folding and pressing layers
together to form a seal. Carefully transfer to a greased baking sheet.
Cut 3 to 4 vents in top. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake for 15-20
minutes until lightly browned.
6. Transfer calzone(s) to cooling rack to keep bottom crust crisp while
cooling slightly. Serve with pizza sauce or other sauce for dipping.
