Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

    • 500g (4 cups) strong bread flour

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • 2 teaspoons sugar

    • 7g (1 packet) instant yeast

    • 325ml (1 1/3 cups) warm water

For the Filling:

    • 200g (1 cup) dark chocolate, chopped or chocolate spread

    • 50g (1/4 cup) hazelnuts, chopped (optional)

    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

For the Topping:

    • 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)

    • Icing sugar (for dusting)


Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, salt, and sugar. Add the yeast to one side of the bowl and the salt to the other to avoid direct contact.

    • Gradually pour in the warm water, mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.

    • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

    • Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough

    • Once the dough has risen, divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 20cm (8 inches) in diameter.

Step 4: Add the Filling

    • Place a portion of chopped dark chocolate or a dollop of chocolate spread on one half of each dough circle. Add hazelnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Step 5: Fold and Seal

    • Fold the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle. Press the edges firmly to seal, and crimp the edges with a fork for extra security.

Step 6: Brush and Bake

    • Place the calzones on the prepared baking tray. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden and puffed.

Step 7: Dust and Serve

    • Allow the calzones to cool slightly before dusting with icing sugar. Serve warm for the best gooey chocolate experience.
