Filling:

8 oz. chicken breast, cooked and diced

2 Tablespoons water chestnuts, drained and diced

1 Tablespoon onion, chopped

2 Tablespoon mayonnaise

2 Tablespoons sour cream

1/4 teaspoon celery salt


How to make this recipe:
Combine the dough ingredients in a bread machine (set on "dough" setting), or combine by hand and knead until elastic. Divide the dough into 6 balls. Roll each into a 6 to 7 inch circle on a floured surface.

In a separate bowl, combine the filling ingredients. Take one-sixth of the filling and place in the center of a dough circle, fold in half, and pinch edges shut. Repeat with the other circles. Place calzone on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

Other filling ideas: Combine any meat, cheese, tofu, vegetables and spices to make the filling. Avoid much liquid (i.e. use marinara sauce instead of fresh tomatoes).

Note: To make a quicker version of this recipe, purchase ready-made unbaked piecrust. Divide each circle in half, fill and bake

Cost per serving (1 calzone): $0.34 Notes: No part of this recipe can be reprinted without permission.
