Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead and Rise

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Bananas

    Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds. Set aside.

  2. 5

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced bananas, hazelnut spread, salted caramel sauce, and caramel. Mix gently to avoid mashing the bananas.

Calzone Assembly

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 7

    Shape Calzones

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.

  3. 8

    Fill Calzones

    Place a generous amount of the hazelnut filling on one half of each dough circle. Sprinkle with salted caramel crisp pearls.

  4. 9

    Seal Calzones

    Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.

Baking

  1. 10

    Bake Calzones

    Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

  2. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with additional caramel if desired.
