Prep time
25 mins
Ingredients
- Red Pepper: 290g jar roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
- Parmesan: 50g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated
- Basil Leaf: handful basil leaves, torn
- Egg: 1 egg, beaten
- Pesto: 50g pesto
- Passata: 100g passata
- Mozzarella: 125g ball mozzarella, torn into pieces
- Salad Leaf: dressed salad leaves, to serve
- Frozen Sweetcorn: 100g frozen sweetcorn
- Bread Mix: 500g pack bread mix
Directions
- Make up the bread mix to pack instructions, reserving a little of the flour for dusting, and leave to prove for 30 mins.
- Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and cut into quarters. Roll each ball of dough to a circle, roughly 20cm wide. Spread a little passata over each base, leaving a border of about 1cm around the edge. Season well.
- Top with the peppers, sweetcorn, mozzarella, Parmesan, basil and blobs of pesto. Fold each base in half, to make a half-moon shape, then squeeze the edges together, rolling them a little to stick and create a seal. Cover the tray with cling film and leave for 10 mins. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
- Brush the calzones all over with beaten egg, then bake for 25-30 mins or until puffed and golden brown. Serve with dressed salad leaves.
