Equipment
Ingredients
3 x Best quality beef patties 225g/8 Oz
Dough balls x 3
Flour
Spice mix (few pinches of whatever spices you like)
Sea salt
White pepper
Worcestershire sauce
100ml / 3.5 fl Oz Beef stock
100g / 3.5 Oz Gruyere
100g / 3.5 Oz Sharp cheddar
100g Mozzarella / Provolone
1 x Large green pepper
1 x Can of quality tomato sauce
9 x American cheese slices
1 x Large white onion
Burger sauce (homemade or shop bought)
1 x jar BIG crunchy gherkins
Your favorite hot sauce
Step 1:
Pre-heat the Gozney Dome to 400°C/750°F
Step 2:
Begin by placing the peppers in a cast-iron pan and charring / heating them in the Dome until they begin to blacken. Once cooked, remove the peppers from the Dome and the cast-iron, and put them to one side to cool down.
Step 3:
In the same pre-heated cast-iron, place in the beef mince patties, and then pop them into the Dome. Cook and flip until nearly cooked through, before chopping the patties with the back of a utensil. Add the spices of your choice to flavor the meat before placing back into the Dome to caramelize.
Step 4:
Grate or slice all the cheeses and place to one side. Remove the beef from the Dome, and de-glaze the pan with a small amount of beef stock and Worcestershire sauce.
Step 5:
Take the cooled, charred peppers and chop roughly. Add to the beef mix along with all of the cheese. Place back in the oven for a few minutes to help the cheese melt.
Step 6:
Remove the cast-iron from the Dome and place the mixture into a bowl to cool down.
Step 7:
Stretch out a dough ball and add a thin layer of tomato sauce before adding in the chopped cheese mixture. Finish the inside with cheese singles layered over the mixture.
Step 8:
Seal the calzone by folding in half and crimping the edges. Ensure to pierce the top of the calzone with a knife to allow the steam to escape. Take a floured peel, slide the calzone onto the peel, and launch into the oven at around 380°C/720°F.
Step 9:
Cook the calzone until it becomes golden brown all over, then remove from the oven. Serve with raw slices white onion, chopped pickles, burger sauce and hot sauce. Enjoy!
