\nCalzone Dough<\/span><\/em><\/strong> \nIngredients<\/em><\/p>\n\n- \n
\n- 1 1\/4 cup sugar<\/li>\n
- 4 tablespoons ground flax seed<\/li>\n
- 1 cup canola oil<\/li>\n
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk plus extra tablespoons if needed<\/li>\n
- 5 cups flour<\/li>\n
- 1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
- dash cinnamon (optional I guess)<\/li>\n
- 1 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n
- 1\/2 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/em><\/p>\n \n- In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar, flax, oil, vanilla, and almond milk until fully combined.<\/li>\n
- Add the cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and mix well.<\/li>\n
- Slowly add the flour, little by little, slowly but surely, inch by inch, putting it together, and start to form a ball. Once you have formed a ball, knead for about 3 minutes.<\/li>\n
- Refrigerate for an hour. (This is optional if you are in a rush.)<\/li>\n
- Let thaw 45 minutes before using.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Chickpea filling<\/span><\/em><\/strong> \nIngredients<\/em><\/p>\n \n- 2 cans chickpeas, washed well and drained<\/li>\n
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
- 4 tablespoons agave nectar<\/li>\n
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar<\/li>\n
- 1 tablespoon white sugar<\/li>\n
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice<\/li>\n
- dash cinnamon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/em><\/p>\n \n- Put it all in a highspeed blender, or a good food processor if your blender would leave chickpeas resembling chickpeas.<\/li>\n
- Blend until smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
ASSEMBLY<\/span><\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \n- Remember to let your dough thaw and settle before handling.<\/li>\n
- Break the dough ball into 4 parts.<\/li>\n
- Roll each ball flat until it is about 1\/2-1\/4 inch thick.<\/li>\n
- Use a circular glass, cookie cutter, or other object with about a 4-5 inch diameter to cut circles. I think I cut it freehand using a knife but not everyone is gifted in the arts.<\/li>\n
- Place a tablespoon or so of the filling in the center of each circle.<\/li>\n
- Fold the edges of the dough together over the filling, making a half-moon or semicircle. When you fold a circle in half, it becomes a semicircle. See, we are baking and learning maths.<\/li>\n
- Take a fork and crease the edges of the folded-over dough. See, now it is like a mini-calzone.<\/li>\n
- Repeat almost ad infinitum. This makes a lot. Like several dozen.<\/li>\n
- When you are on the last ball of dough, preheat the oven to 350F.<\/li>\n
- Finish circling, filling, and semi-circling that last ball of dough.<\/li>\n
- Place half of the calzones on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. (Or all of them if you don’t want to try frying, or none of them if you are dead-set on frying all the things<\/a>.)<\/li>\n
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden but not burning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
For frying:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \n- Now, for the fried pants!<\/li>\n
- Get a biggg heavy-bottomed pot and fill it about an inch high with frying oil (non-virgin (opposite of Joseph’s wife) olive, canola, sunflower). Turn up the heat to high and let it sizzle.<\/li>\n
- Drop as many cavazoons as will fit into the oil, cover the pot with the lid, and fry for a minute.<\/li>\n
- After a minute, turn down the heat to medium and cook for 3-4 minutes.<\/li>\n
- Wearing long-sleeved, goggles, and oven mitts on both entire arms, flip the cavazoons and fry for 3 more minutes on the other side.<\/li>\n
- Remove from heat, lather rinse repeat until finished all the cavazoons.<\/li>\n
- Enjoy, once cooled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
