My experiments with yeast are not that great. That's changed now. The other day we went shopping and I picked up Instant yeast at a supermarket. It's not easy finding instant yeast near by my place.
I was searching for recipes that included yeast and I was not too convinced that I could make it. But, I saw a recipe for Calzone on raks kitchen and I instantly decided to make it.
Gathered all the ingredients and in no time it was out of the oven and into our stomachs. It was that good. I tweaked the recipe a bit and added prawns for the filling.

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
- 1 tsp Instant yeast
- 1 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4 cup water
- Italian seasoning
- Pasta sauce or ketchup - as per requirement
- Mozarella cheese 1/2 cup or 3/4 cup - shredded
- Prawn masala filling
Method:
- Add flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a wide mouthed bowl, mix.
- Warm up water and milk, it should be luke warm or the yeast will die if its too hot.
- Add the water and milk into the flour by making a dent in the pile of flour.
- Add oil and knead well. I kneaded it for about 5 mins.
- Use cling film to close the mouth of the bowl and keep in a warm place.
- I kept mine in the oven.
- After an hour, the dough would have doubled in size. Punch down the air and knead again.
- Make 3 to 4 small balls and flatten using your fingers.
- Place the stuffing in and pinch around to make a purse like form.
- Pinch on all sides and make sure there is no opening.
- Before you close the dough around the stuffing don't forget to place the cheese.
- Place in a baking tray and bake in a pre heated oven for 20 to 25 mins.
- Each oven is different, mine took around 20 mins to cook and extra 5 mins to brown on top.
- Allow to cool a bit on a rack and serve with sauce or any salads.
Here are the pictures.
