Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • Mix lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
  • In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, milk powder, flax seeds, and olive oil. Add the yeast mixture and knead for 7-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a tablespoon of water at a time if the dough is too dry.
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling

  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onions and sauté until softened.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for a few minutes.
  • Stir in the cooked chicken (or paneer), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until heated through and the flavors have melded.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Rose Calzone

  • Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in half.
  • Roll out one half into a large circle (about 12 inches in diameter). Place the chicken filling in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with half of the grated mozzarella cheese.
  • Cut four slits into the dough from the center to the edge. Fold each section over the filling, tucking the edges under to form a rose bud shape.
  • Roll out the second half of the dough into smaller circles (about 4 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of filling onto one half of each circle, top with the remaining mozzarella cheese, and fold the other half over to form a half-moon shape. Seal the edges with a fork.
  • Arrange the smaller half-moon shapes around the rose bud to form petals.

Bake the Calzone

  • Place the assembled rose calzone on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Lightly brush the top with egg wash (or milk) and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Let it rise for another 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Brush with butter once done and let cool slightly before serving.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for a Perfect Rose Calzone

  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • If you don’t have whole wheat flour, you can use all-purpose flour.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for extra heat.
  • To prevent the calzone from drying out, you can brush it with olive oil or milk before baking.
