    • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
    • 1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
    • 4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Filling

    • 1 ½ heads fresh broccoli
    • ⅔ cup shredded provolone cheese
    • 🧀 ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 cup diced pepperoni
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • 🧂 Salt and pepper to taste

  • Egg Wash

    • 🥚 1 egg, beaten
    • 1 tablespoon water

  • Baking

    • 2 tablespoons cornmeal

STEPS

1

Proof the yeast by blending with 1/4 cup warm water and letting it bubble.

2

Combine flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil in a large bowl. Gradually add proofed yeast and remaining warm water, then knead into a ball.

3

Knead dough on a wooden board until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1.5 hours or until doubled.

4

Prepare broccoli by soaking in salted water for 15 minutes, rinsing, boiling for 5 minutes, and chopping. Mix broccoli with cheeses, garlic, pepperoni, olive oil, and seasonings.

5

Punch down dough, knead for 1 minute, and divide into six pieces. Roll each into an 8x10 inch rectangle.

6

Prepare egg wash by mixing beaten egg and water. Distribute filling evenly onto dough, brush edges with egg wash, fold and seal.

7

Place calzones on a cornmeal-sprinkled baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash, prick with a toothpick, and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes.
