    Do you need a delicious snack for your next evening on the terrace or in your garden? Or maybe something to watch the next game (football, soccer or whatever) on tv with friends? Well – I guess there is something I can recommend. I have a really nice pizza bread for you today – something that will put a smile on everybody’s face – and probably some additional fat on your hips :P

    This kind of “bread” has many names – pizza bread, calzone, stromboli – but the idea is always similar – pizza dough wrapped around a filling instead of making a plain pizza. The term “Calzone” is pretty common here in Germany – “Stromboli” not at all I think ;) The first time I had a stromboli was in N.Y. at a pizza place called “Sbarro” – they are all over the U.S. so some of you probably know them ;)

    They are NOT restaurants where you expect healthy salad and organic food, but well… sometimes you can go for the “bad stuff”, right? As long as it is not too often. And especially if you are on vacation and walking around all day, this kind of treat is more than ok, cause you will walk off the extra calories anyways :P

    Anyways – I suppose you did not want to read about my travel stories here – so let’s get back to the pizza bread. As you can see – my bread is not free of fat either, but if you change the filling, there will be less of it I suppose. Less pepperoni, less cheese and you will have less fat on your plate. Or even exchange with vegetables like asparagus, corn, broccoli or spinach – basically every combination you like is possible – that should do the trick! ;)

    The braiding is not very complicated – just make sure the filling is covered completely. One bread is enough for 2-3 persons, so invite some friends if you are making these. Also an option: Make just one bread and keep the dough for the other one in the fridge and make the second bread the next day (maybe with some different filling). The dough will continue rising a bit, but that is ok, just give it some extra space ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Add yeast, sugar and lukewarm water to a large bowl and mix until the yeast has dissolved. Let sit for about 5 minutes. Add the olive oil and mix in. Add flour and salt and knead until you get a nice smooth dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for about 40 minutes – the dough should double in size.

    2. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Slice the spring onions into fine rings, wash the tomatoes and half, clean the mushrooms and cut into slices. Dice the mozzarella and set all aside.

    3. Then the dough has risen enough, knead once more to get out the air and cut in half. Roll out each piece of dough into a large rectangle and place on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Spread some pesto in the center of the dough rectangle and leave a big boarder empty. Layer half of the ingredients for the filling on each dough rectangle – start with the peperoni, spring onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, mozzarella and grated cheese. Cut the border fan-like into stripes. Fold the big stripe on the short sides over the filling and then “braid” the stripes on the sides in a criss-cross battern over the filling until all is covered. Do the same with the second pizza bread. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.

    4. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Whisk the egg with milk, season with salt and pepper and brush the pizza breads. Sprinkle with grated parmesan (optional) and bake for 25-30 minutes. Serve hot.

    1. Die Hefe mit dem Zucker und Wasser in einer großen Schüssel verrühren, bis sich die Hefe komplett aufgelöst hat – 5 Minuten gehen lassen. Das Olivenöl zugeben und unterrühren. Mehl und Salz zugeben und alles zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Mit einem Küchentuch abdecken und für ca. 40 Minuten gehen lassen – das Volumen sollte sich in etwa verdoppelt haben.

    2. Während der Teig geht, kann man schon die Füllung vorbereiten. Die Frühlingszwiebeln in Ringe schneiden. Die Tomaten waschen und halbieren. Die Champignons putzen und in Scheiben schneiden. Den Mozzarella in Würfel schneiden und alles zur Seite stellen.

    3. Den Teig noch einmal kurz durchboxen, damit die Luft entweichen kann. Den Teig halbieren und jeweils zu einem Rechteck ausrollen und auf ein Blech mit Backpapier legen. Die Mitte des Rechtecks mit Pesto bestreichen und dabei rundum einen handbreiten Rand lassen. Die Hälfte der Zutaten in Schichten auf das Pesto legen – Peperoni, Frühlingszwiebeln, Tomaten, Pilze, Mozzarella und den geriebenen Käse. Die Ränder fächerartig einschneiden, dabei auf den kurzen Seiten einen breiten Streifen als erstes über die Füllung schlagen und dann abwechselnd rechts und links über die Füllung schlagen bzw. flechten. Mit dem zweiten Teigstück und der restlichen Füllung wiederholen. Die Pizzabrote mit Plastikfolie abdecken und noch einmal 30 Minuten gehen lassen.

    4. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Das Ei mit der Milch, Salz und Pfeffer verquirlen und damit die Pizzabrote bestreichen. Geriebenen Parmesan (optional) darüberstreuen und für 25-30 Minuten backen. Heiß servieren.
