- Ready In:
- 45mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
4 calzones
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) package dry pizza dough mix
- 1 cup ham, cubed or sliced
- 1 1⁄2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 1⁄2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1⁄2 cups pineapple, cubed
- 1 egg
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
- Prepare the pizza base as directed on the packet.
- While it rises, cut the pineapple chunks into smaller pieces if you are using canned pineapple chunks.
- In a bowl, combine the pineapple with the ham and cheese.
- When it has risen, divide the pizza dough into four even portions. On a floured surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch round.
- Beat the egg and brush the edge of each base with beaten egg.
- Spread pizza sauce over each base. Top with even portions of the filling over half of each round.
- Fold over the dough and press the eggy edges gently to seal.
- Crimp the edges of each calzone to thoroughly seal (I like to roll the edges as you would for a Cornish pasty).
- Brush each calzone with beaten egg.
- Lay the calzones carefully on a greased pan and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden and cooked through.

This is wonderful. The cool, sweet taste of the pineapple made a delicious contrast to the saltiness of the ham and cheese. Next time, I would bake it a little longer to cook the dough more thoroughly, and I would cut up the ham instead of using slices. Extremely filling, and a great change from the same old same old. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT Witchin Kitchen Antarctica challenge.

I am a primary school teacher living in Bristol, England. At the moment I teach Kindergarten, known here as Reception. I really love my job but it doesn't leave much time for hobbies!
I enjoy cooking for friends and aim to try new recipes as often as possible! My signature dish has to be White Chocolate Blondies, as it is my most requested sweet treat, and I definitely have a sweet tooth!
Update- 5-5-09: Somebody was very thoughtful and gave me the gift of a premium membership. I can honestly say it made me feel so good! If you're out there, THANK YOU so much! I can't quite believe the generosity...
