Calzone dough recipe for bread machine

[mom31257]

Would anyone share a really good calzone dough recipe for a bread machine? Mine is a 2 pound machine with a dough cycle.

Thanks!

I just make a regular batch of pizza dough in the machine and use that for calzones.

 

Is there a special calzone bread? Do you add spices or anything?

I do the same. I make a double batch of pizza dough, use half for pizza and half for calzones. Seems to turn out fine. The recipe I use is:

 

1 t yeast

600g strong bread flour

2 T olive oil

2 t salt

340 ml water

I had to make these before I got a response, so I did use a pizza dough recipe. Thanks to those who did respond. Does anyone know a trick to getting the dough to not want to spring back? I had the hardest time getting it to stretch out. Then when I baked them, some of them came back open. My husband said "calzones on the half-shell!".

[ereks mom]

small (4 calzones)

2/3 cup water

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1/3 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. oregano

2 cups bread flour

1 tsp. yeast

1 cup water

1½ Tbsp. olive oil

1/3 tsp. oregano

3 cups bread flour

1½ tsp. yeast

 

large (8 calzones)

1 & 1/3 cups water

2 Tbsp. olive oil

2/3 tsp. salt

½ tsp. oregano

4 cups bread flour

2½ tsp. yeast

Directions:

Put ingredients into the bread machine in the order listed. Use dough setting (knead + first rise). Remove dough from machine and roll it into circles approximately 8 inches in diameter. Place filling ingredients on one half of the circle, leaving a border around it for closing. Close the calzone by folding the unfilled side on top of the filled side and crimping the edges closed with your fingers or a fork. Place on a lightly greased pizza pan. Let rise appoximately 30 minutes. Brush lightly with olive oil and bake in a preheated 500° oven for 20-30 minutes or until puffed and golden.
