Method
- In a mixing bowl, place maida, instant yeast, salt, sugar and mix well. Make a dent in the middle. Warm the milk and mix with water. Add the luke warm milk + water, oil/ butter to the dent.
- Gather and knead well for 5 minutes to a smooth dough. Keep aside and cover the mouth of the bowl with a cling wrap or damp cloth. Warm place will be better, so that the dough raises well – For an hour.
- Once the dough is ready, punch it down and knead again. Divide into 2 or 3.
- Meanwhile you can cube the onion, tomato and capsicum. Fry onion and capsicum for a good flavour. Spread it thick into disks. In this disk, spread pasta sauce to one half. Over this, spread some sautéed onion tomato capsicum and on top of that some cheese.
- Cover it with the other side folding the spread dough and seal the edges. You can smear little water along the edges while sealing, to ensure it doesn’t open up.
- Press the edges well, either with your fingers or using a fork like I did. Repeat the same to make the other two calzones. Using a knife, make three slits to open the calzones from top, so that steam escapes as it gets baked.
- Pre heat oven at 190 deg C and bake these calzones for 15 minutes or until golden, placed in a greased and floured baking pan. Calzones should be placed with enough space.
Notes
- Do not spread the dough too thick, as the calzone wont get baked.
- I have used instant yeast in this recipe. If you are using other type of yeast like dry yeast, first dissolve 3/4 tbsp yeast in luke warm milk + water with sugar and let it sit for 5 minutes. If it froths and raises, your yeast is good and you can proceed with baking. Use the dissolved yeast in milk to make the dough.
- The stuffing can be of your choice like sweet corn, paneer etc;
If desired, brush with butter to serve it hot. The stuffing inside will be hot, so be careful while eating.

can v fry them..
instead of baking them can v deep fry dem?
Since there is yeast, you cant deep fry. Shape will not be maintained, also will not remain sealed.
May be in a heavy bottomed dosa pan preferably a iron skillet, you can cook in low flame and see..
Cant do in a Microwave
Refer my FAQ page also your user manual
Yes, but mozarella is better than processed.

Hi I wanted to know if there is any other substitute to yeast… Because I generally don't keep yeast at home
I have no other option to suggest you, sorry
Should we use sunflower oil or olive oil?
Which ever you prefer
Can prepare a day before and store it in fridge and then bake it next day…will it taste good?
You can try keeping the dough ready in fridge and make calzone the next day. You can freeze it and bake next day otherwise. You should keep outside, thaw and let it come to room temperature before baking.
Hi… Can I make it in microwave… I have never done baking.
Microwave mode cannot be adapted, only convection mode you can bake
Looks yummy raks!! Can you please post ravioli recipe??
I should try it out soon 🙂 Sure.
Can you freeze the extras and bake it a day or two later?
Sure, make sure to thaw before baking.
