Year 8/9 - Pizza/Calzone 2

Beaumont School Food Technology Department


Recipe title: Pizza or Calzone
Please bring from home:

150g (approx) Cheese
50g Tomato Sauce*
50-150g Flavouring ingredients*








Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 190oc.
2. Prepare all your topping ingredients for the pizza (wash, chop, slice, grate, cube or cut any cheese, vegetables or meat).
3. Roll out your pizza dough to the shape of the tray.
4. Spoon the tomato sauce layer onto the base of the pizza, leaving a 1-2cm gap between the edge of the base and the tomato (puree especially burns very easily, so should be covered by the cheese and other flavouring ingredients). If you are making a calzone, remember to cover only half of the pizza base so you can ‘fold’ it shut!
5. Add any vegetables or meat in a flat layer to the edges of the base. Add any herbs or spices.
6. Sprinkle on the cheese to cover the flavouring ingredients and the pizza base. If you are making calzone, wet the edges of the base and ‘fold’ it shut.
7. Bake for 15-20 mins, or until the cheese is speckled golden brown.

At home, you can serve your dish reheated in the microwave (1-3 mins on a medium/high power setting) or in the oven (15-20 mins) on gas 5,190oc, until piping hot.
