Calzone tapenade and grilled red peppers
85g (3oz) Mozzarella, grated
2 tablespoons black olive tapenade (see below)
2 red peppers, grilled
25g (1oz) Parmesan, freshly grated
Basil oil or olive oil
Place pizza tile on the floor of the oven and preheat to maximum for one hour.
Assembling the calzone: Stretch the dough into a 20cm (8”) circle. Place the filling over one half of the circle, making sure to leave a clean 10mm (½”) rim and then layer one ingredient on top of another.
Begin with a layer of Mozzarella. Cover with the tapenade, red peppers and Parmesan.
Fold the other half of the dough over the mixture and press the edges together. Bake for approx. 20 mins in the hottest oven. Check after 10 mins, and cover with tin foil if it browns too quickly.
Remove from the oven when cooked and brush with basil or olive oil. Serve with pesto, or with the basic tomato sauce.
