Calzones

My favorite book: Miserly Meals- I have checked it out of the library four or five times, always renewing it a few times. I found this recipe:

Calzones- serves 6
Dough:

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 T. oil
• 2 1/4 tsp(or 1 pkg.) dry yeast
• 1 tsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. salt

Filling:

• 8 oz. chicken breast, cooked and diced
• 2 T. water chestnuts, drained and diced
• 1 T. chopped onion
• 2 T. mayonnaise
• 2 T. sour cream
• 1/4 tsp. celery salt

Combine dough ingredients in a bread machine or by hand. Divide dough into 6 balls. Roll each into a 6-7 inch circle on a floured surface.

In a separate bowl, combine the filling ingredients. Place 1/6th of the filling in center of the dough circle, fold in half, and pinch edges shut. Repeat with other circles. Place the calzones on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Megans notes: I first made this with ham instead of chicken. Combine any meat, cheese, tofu, eggs and spices to make the filling. Keep the liquid to a minimum to avoid soggy dough.

Also, my kids weren't into this, of course, so I made up the dough into 6 individual pizza crusts and I had them top their own pizza, and they ate almost the whole thing. I think I could make two or three bigger crusts for bigger pizza's, but the individual size works real well for us. Very yummy dough. ;o)
