Ingredients Serving: 4

  1. 3 cups atta or whole wheat flour
  2. 1/2 cup Maida
  3. 1/3rd tbsp dry active yeast
  4. 2-3 tbsp Olive oil
  5. Water and salt as needed
  6. Filling
  7. 3 tomatoes, chopped
  8. 1 Onion, chopped
  9. 1/2 Bell pepper, chopped
  10. 5 cloves of garlic peeled and chopped
  11. Corn, olives, jalapeo (optional)
  12. Chilly flakes, dry herbs, fresh herbs
  13. Olive oil
  14. 1 cup of cheese - mozzarella + cheddar

Instructions

  1. Boil a cup of water. Add 1/2 cup maida in it. Add a pinch of sugar. Check if the mixture is now at lukewarm temperature. If yes, then add the yeast and cover and leave in a warm place for 20 minutes or till you see frothy bubbles.
  2. Add the whole wheat flour in batches along with salt and oil and knead to a soft dough. Let it rest in a warm spot covered in cling film or a damp tea towel.
  3. The dough needs to rise for about an hour at least. During this time, you can prep your filling.
  4. Heat oil in a wok. Saut chilli flakes and garlic in it.
  5. Add onions and capsicum and saut for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes.
  6. Add a pinch of sugar, herbs, salt and let it cook for a bit. We need the filling to be chunky.
  7. Add other veggies if required.
  8. Once the dough rises, after an hour, knead it again and divide it into 5-6 balls. Cover again and let it rise for 30 minutes.
  9. Take a ball of dough, knead and roll into a circle. Add the filling in the center along with a generous helping of the cheese. Make one side meet the other, forming a semi circle. Using a fork, seal the sides.
  10. Do this with all the dough balls and bake at 200°C for 30 minutes or till the calzone browns lightly.
