| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Heat 3 to 4 inches of vegetable oil or shortening in a deep-fat fryer to 375°. After the pizza dough has risen once, punch it down and stretch and roll it as thin as possible-no more than 1/8 inch thick.
|
2. With a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut the dough into 4-inch rounds. Place a piece of prosciutto on one half of each round and top it with a strip of cheese.
|
3. Sprinkle the cheese with a little oregano and pepper, and dribble a few drops of olive oil over it. Fold the other half of the circle over the filling to make a half moon and press the edges of dough firmly together.
|
|
4. Deep fry the calzone, 2 or 3 at a time, turning them once, for 4 or 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown on both sides. Drain them on paper towels and serve them immediately.
