Potato,paneer and mushrooms together as anything works out always wonder, they can be served very well as side dish or as stuffing for making buns or rotis...Few days back i prepared some homemade pizza dough and after making pizzas twice,there were some leftover dough sitting quietly in my fridge, to give a second life to those leftover dough, i prepared this ultimate combination of masala for stuffing and prepared as calzone.. Indianized calzone tastes super delicious,filling and suits prefectly for lunch as well as for dinner when served along with some simple salad or soup, we enjoyed this calzone for our lunch with a simple corn and lettuce salad..You can make mini calzones using the same stuffing for a party menu,why not for a snacks..You have so many choices to make and enjoy these delicious calzones..
For pizza dough:1 tsp Active Dry Or Instant Yeast
4 cups All-purpose Flour
1 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sprinkle yeast over 1 +1/2 cups warm (not lukewarm) water.Combine flour and salt in a bowl,drizzle in olive oil until combined with flour. Next, pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined.
Grease a bowl with olive oil, and form the dough into a ball,arrange the dough in the greased bowl, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you need it.It’s best to make the dough at least 24 hours in advance, and 3 or 4 days is even better...
