Bread Machine Calzone
These calzones are a breeze to prepare thanks to a bread machine that handles the dough for you. The result? A perfectly baked calzone that’s crispy on the outside and warm and cheesy on the inside.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled Italian sausage (or your choice of filling)
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for serving)
Instructions
- In your bread machine, add warm water, olive oil, sugar, and salt. Then, add the bread flour, making sure to cover the liquid completely.
- Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the bread machine yeast. Set the machine to the dough setting and start it. This will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Once the dough cycle is complete, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and divide it into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a 7-inch circle.
- On one half of each circle, spread the ricotta cheese, followed by a generous sprinkling of mozzarella cheese and crumbled Italian sausage. Drizzle a little marinara sauce over the top.
- Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges firmly to seal. You can use a fork to create a decorative edge if desired.
- Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with olive oil, and if you’d like, sprinkle a bit of garlic powder or Italian seasoning for added flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes, then serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy your delicious homemade Bread Machine Calzones!
These calzones are your new go-to favorite for a casual meal or a special treat. Serve them alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal, or enjoy them on their own. Happy cooking!
