INGREDIENTS
Ingredients for Chicken & Spinach Calzone (Serves 1–2):

- 110g mozzarella, broken into small chunks
- 1 small chicken breast, cooked and torn into chunks
- 2 slices prosciutto
- 50g fresh spinach

- 60g béchamel sauce
- Pinch of rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp Riserva cheese, grated

METHOD
How to Make a Calzone Pollo Spinaci:
- Preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to its highest setting. If using a pizza oven, heat to 300°C (570°F).
- Roll out the dough
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large oval (around 30cm wide). Keep it thin so it crisps up beautifully in the oven. Transfer to a baking tray or pizza paddle.
- Add the filling
- Sprinkle the mozzarella across the centre, then add the chicken pieces and layer over the prosciutto. Top with spinach, mushrooms, and chopped rosemary.
- Add the béchamel sauce
- Spoon the béchamel evenly over the filling to create that signature creamy calzone texture.
- Fold and seal the calzone
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a crescent shape. Press firmly to remove air pockets, then crimp and seal the edges היט ensure no filling escapes during cooking.
- Bake until golden
- Carefully place the calzone in the oven and bake until puffed up and golden brown. The steam inside will help create its signature rise.
- Finish with flavour
- Remove from the oven towards the end of cooking, brush with vegan garlic butter, and sprinkle over the grated Riserva cheese. Return to the oven for a few more minutes until bubbling and golden.
- Serve and enjoy
- Serve with red pepper tapenade on the side for dipping and enjoy your homemade chicken calzone.
