Yield: 9

The original pizza shape will captivate you with its juicy filling! An incredibly tasty dish: the filling is tasty, juicy, with a pleasant aroma of ingredients and spices. The dough is soft on the inside, crispy on top, just lick your fingers! The dough fits perfectly, it is very soft, elastic, very simple and easy to work with. The pizza turns out beautiful, rosy, it can be eaten with the family and can be offered to guests. I have only pleasant impressions from this recipe! I will be making this pizza often from now on. The funny name of this dish is reminiscent of the word “long johns” for a reason, since in Italian it is translated as “pants,” probably due to the fact that the thin dough is tight-fitting and stretched over the filling. It is precisely because the pizza is made closed that it turns out incredibly juicy, since the filling does not dry out. By the way, just like traditional pizza, you can put a variety of toppings on it,

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

STEP 1
We prepare products for the test. Pre-sieve the flour. Instead of milk, you can take water.
STEP 2
Dissolve yeast, salt and sugar in warm milk or water.
STEP 3
Sift the flour into the milk-yeast mixture.
STEP 4
Knead the plastic dough, roll it into a ball, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
STEP 5
At this time, let's start filling. First of all, lightly fry the peeled, washed and chopped champignons in a small amount of vegetable oil (1-2 tablespoons). Let them cool.
STEP 6
We cut pre-fried or smoked chicken meat (I used fried fillet), tomatoes into semicircles, olives into rings.
STEP 7
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
STEP 8
In a separate container, mix all the filling ingredients: olives, tomatoes, chicken meat, cooled champignons (take them out of the pan carefully, without oil), cheese, onions cut into rings or half rings. Season and add spices.
STEP 9
Let's return to the test. It should come up 2-3 times.
STEP 10
Without kneading the risen dough, roll it into a round layer 4 mm thick (from the specified amount of ingredients I got 3 pieces of dough. I rolled out 3 layers for 3 calzones). Visually divide the dough layer into 2 halves. Place the filling on one of them. It is clear that for the 3rd calzone I divided the filling into 3 equal parts.
STEP 11
Cover the filling with the free half of the layer, carefully pinch the edges. We make 3 cuts. Brush with egg. Leave for 20 minutes in a warm place.
STEP 12
Place the calzone on a baking sheet, place in an oven preheated to 200-220 degrees and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
STEP 13
Serve the calzone hot with herbs. Try it, it's incredibly delicious! By the way, this pizza is delicious when it’s cold.

Great recipe!!! The dough turned out great: soft inside, with a crispy crust. Instead of mushrooms, the filling included ham, cut into strips, and bell peppers (my son doesn’t like mushrooms). Divided the dough into 6 parts. I decided that a smaller size would be more convenient to eat. Yes, and visually 6 is more pleasant than 3. MORE. The whole family really, really liked this pizza. I tried it in an Italian cafe before, but this one tastes better. Mother of the Sweet Tooth, THANK YOU so much for this delicious recipe!

Thank you, Marina, for such a nice comment! The dough in this recipe is really not difficult to prepare, it is simply a miracle, very manageable! The pizza turns out very juicy due to the closed shape.

530 gr. flour turned out to be too much for 330 ml. milk. I had to add another 100 ml of milk. I'll wait an hour. Let's see.
