- The filling leaked out, what did I do wrong?
- You put in too much sauce, or you didn't press the edges down hard enough. Steam seeks a way out!
Turkey calzone
A calzone is essentially a folded pizza which cooks the filling in its own steam. This technique produces a juicier result than baking an open pizza, as the flavours don't evaporate but remain inside the dough pocket.

Instructions
1
✓
Knead the dough from the flour, yeast, water, oil and salt. Prove for 1 hour.
Tip: The secret to good pizza dough is long kneading, which makes the dough elastic and stretchable.
2
✓
Quickly sear the turkey cubes with the garlic.
Tip: You don't need to cook it completely, as it will continue to steam inside the dough, so it won't dry out.
3
✓
Roll out two discs from the dough. Spread with tomato, sprinkle meat and cheese on half. Fold over the other half and seal thoroughly.
Tip: Twist the edge back or press down with a fork so the cheese doesn't escape.
4
✓
Brush with egg, prick the top (to let steam escape), and bake at 200°C for 20-25 minutes.
Tip: Pricking (steam chimney) prevents the dough from bursting.
