Ingredients

  • 1 Packet Of Italian Meats And Cheese
  • 2 Red Onions
  • 250ml Of Tomato And Herb Pasta Sauce
  • 8 Cheesy Slices
  • 6 Cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tsp Of Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Tsp Of Dried Parsley / 1 Handful Of Fresh Parsley
  • 1 Tsp Of Mixed Herbs
  • 1 Cup Of Full Fat Greek Yoghurt
  • 1 And 3/4 Cup Of Self-Raising Flour

Method

  1. In a bowl, add 1 cup of Greek yoghurt and 1 and 3/4 cups of self-raising flour with a pinch of salt and mix together with your hands to create a dough. The dough should not stick to your hands but should also not be too dry that it separates.
  2. Using your hands, roll the dough into a sausage shape and divide into 4 balls.
  3. Sprinkle some more flour on the surface you’re using then using a rolling pin or something of a similar shape, roll each ball out into a thin pizza shape and set aside.
  4. Slice up your two red onions and fry in a little oil with the mixed herbs. Add about half of the jar of pasta sauce, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika and 3 cloves of chopped garlic.
  5. Divide the meats and cheese from the Italian meat selection out onto the dough, placing them all on one side.
  6. Put 2 tablespoons of the sauce mixture on top of the meat then 2 cheesy singles on top of that then fold the dough over to close it. Using a fork, press the edges of the dough together so they stick together.
  7. Pop all 4 calzones into the oven on a greased baking tray or baking paper on 190 degrees for 30 mins.
  8. Whilst they’re cooking, make a garlic butter by mixing 4 tablespoons of butter with 3 cloves of grated garlic and a teaspoon of dried parsley or a handful of chopped fresh parsley.
  9. When the calzones are cooked, they should be golden and starting to brown, remove and brush some garlic butter over each one.
