Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a high-walled saute pan over medium-high until shimmering and sweat half a small finely minced onion for two minutes.
  • ½ whole onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 28 oz San Marzano tomatoes
Saute two crushed cloves of garlic and two tablespoons of tomato paste for one minute, then add a 28-ounce can of San Marzano tomatoes, crushing them up.
  • 1 whole fresh basil
Add a sprig of fresh basil, partially cover, lower the heat and simmer about an hour and a half until thickened.
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground pepper
Optionally puree with an immersion blender, season with kosher salt and pepper and finish with a glug of olive oil.
  • 8¼ oz whole wheat flour
  • 5½ oz bread flour
  • ¾ tsp instant yeast
  • 2 tsp honey
Lightly process eight and a quarter ounces of whole wheat flour, five and a half ounces of bread flour, three quarters of a teaspoon of instant yeast and two teaspoons of honey in a food processor.
  • 1¼ cup ice water
Pour one and a quarter cups of ice water into the feed tube while the machine runs until a ball forms, then rest ten minutes for water absorption.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ tsp kosher salt
Add two tablespoons of olive oil and one and a half teaspoons of kosher salt and run the machine one minute straight to knead.
Oil your hands and the work surface, knead a few times to remove dry spots, pull into a taut ball, and ferment in a lightly oiled covered bowl in the fridge at least 18 hours and up to three days.
Divide in two, stretch each into a taut ball, place on a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet, cover loosely and leave an hour and a half at room temperature.
Filling and folding the low-cal calzone
Coat one ball thoroughly in all purpose flour and pat, stretch and pass it knuckle over knuckle to about a 12 inch round.
  • broccoli
  • red peppers
  • baby spinach
  • baby bok choy
  • mustard greens
Saute the broccoli in olive oil with red peppers, baby spinach, baby bok choy and mustard greens.
  • part skim mozzarella
  • part skim ricotta
Fill with part skim mozzarella, part skim ricotta, the sauteed veggies and another layer of mozzarella.
  • water
Brush the outer rim with plain water, fold it over, crimp the edges shut with a fork and decoratively fold the crust closed.
Slide it off a flour-dusted pizza peel onto a pizza stone in a preheated 550F oven until burnished and browned.
Baking on a pizza stone and tasting
