Sweet, pear filled calzone.

Ingredients

  • 1 Ball plain pizza dough (Refer to recipe)
  • 3 ripe pears (peeled and diced)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter / Nuttelex
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure icing sugar

Optional

  • 1 tablespoon whisky

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Melt the butter / Nuttelex in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the pears and stir to coat them. Cook for 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown and soft, but not mushy.
3. Add the sugar and whisky (if using), stir and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and coated the pear. Remove from the heat and set aside.
4. On a lightly floured surface roll the pizza dough into a 30cm diameter circle.
5. Place the pear mixture evenly over the dough, leaving 1cm around the edges.
6.
Carefully lift the top edge of the dough towards you and fold the dough in half so that you have a semi-circle. Crimp the edges together to seal the calzone.
