In this first video Gino shows you how to cook ‘Calzone al Dolcelatte’ a fresh Italian summer dish.

Calzone al Dolcelatte®
Makes 6 Calzone

Ingredients

For the Dough
2 pinches of salt
2 teaspoons dried yeast
Approx 280ml warm water
360g strong plain flour, plus extra for dusting
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for greasing

Dolcelatte Filling
450g Galbani Dolcelatte®, cold and cut into cubes
75g freshly grated Pecorino cheese
80g rocket leaves (chopped)
75g crushed pistachio nuts
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

To prepare the dough, mix the salt and yeast together in a jug with the water. Place the flour into a large bowl, make a well in the centre and add the water mixture along with the olive oil. Use a wooden spoon to mix everything together to create a wet dough.

Turn out the dough onto a clean, well-floured surface and work it with your hands for about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.  Shape into 6 balls, place on a tray and cover with a tea-towel. Leave in a warm place to rise for at least 30 minutes until the dough has nearly doubled in size.

Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200ºC/400°F/gas mark 6.

Once rested turn the balls out onto a floured surface.  Use your hands (or a rolling pin) to push out from the centre, creating six round discs, about 18cm in diameter.  Place the pizza bases on two oiled baking trays.

To prepare the Dolcelatte® filling, mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and divide equally between the six pizza bases.  (Make sure that you place the filling on only one half of the disc).

Gently fold one side of the pizza disc on top of the other creating a half moon shape. Brush the edges with cold water and pinch the damp edges together ensuring you seal the half moon shaped Calzone properly.

Cook in the middle of the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Once ready rest them on a rack for approximately 1 minute and enjoy with a cold beer.

For a quicker option, you can use a packet of pizza base mix to make the dough.
