👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preparing the Dough

🔸 Pour warm water into a large bowl and add yeast. Whisk vigorously until combined.
🔸 Add sourdough starter (or yogurt), Himalayan salt, natural sweetener, olive oil, and both flours. Mix with hands until well combined.
🔸 Lightly flour a work surface and knead the dough until a smooth ball forms. If sticky, add more flour.
🔸 Place dough in a bread maker and select the ‘Pizza Dough’ setting (~45-50 minutes).
🔸 If no bread maker, place dough in a heat-resistant bowl, cover tightly with foil, and proof in the oven at 50°C for 20 minutes. Then, remove and let rise on the counter for 40-50 minutes.

2️⃣ Dough Check & Proofing

🔹 After rising, flour the work surface and knead the dough gently 4-5 times.
🔹 Form a ball and cut it into 4 equal parts. Cover with a tea towel.

3️⃣ Preparing the Filling

🔺 Season chicken thighs with Himalayan salt and pepper, then grill in the oven for 7 minutes per side or until golden.
🔺 Chop the olives, tomatoes, and basil. Slice the onion and set aside.
🔺 Chop mushrooms, drizzle with olive oil, and grill until slightly dehydrated.
🔺 Divide grated mozzarella into four equal portions.

4️⃣ Assembling the Calzone

🔸 Roll one dough portion into a 3-5 mm thick circle. Transfer it onto baking paper, leaving half on the paper and half on the floured surface.
🔸 Spread pizza sauce on the dough and sprinkle mozzarella.
🔸 Add sliced chicken, another layer of mozzarella, and distribute tomatoes, onions, olives, and basil evenly over one-half of the dough.
🔸 Fold the empty half over the filled half and pinch edges together.
🔸 Transfer calzone onto a baking tray and let rest for 15 minutes.
🔸 Repeat with remaining dough portions to make four calzones.

5️⃣ Baking the Calzone

🔥 Preheat oven to 240°C (fan bake).
⏳ Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
🍕 Let cool slightly before serving.

🍽️ Serve & Enjoy!
