Calzone

Recipe

Dough:
Atta/godumai maavu - 2 cups
Whole wheat flour    - 1 and 1/4 cup
Active dry yeast        - 2 and 1/4 tsps
Lukewarm water       - 1 and 1/2 cup
Sugar or honey          - 1 tbsp
Oil of choice              - 1 tbsp
Salt.                            - 1 tsp

Filling:
Shredded carrots                                        - 1/4 cup
Chopped cilantro                                       - 1/4 cup
Soft crumbled paneer/cottage cheese         - 1/2 cup
(I used home made paneer from sour milk)
spices of choice - I used turmeric powder,coriander/red chilli powder mix,ginger powder
Salt to taste

Combine all ingredients to make a smooth dough. Place the dough over a floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes.Let it rest for a few minutes. Pre-heat oven to 375 F.

Prepare the filling by combining all the ingredients. The consistency of the filling should be dry.

Divide the dough into equal sized balls( about 4-6).Roll each ball with hand or rolling pin into 8 inch diameter.Place them on floured/greased baking sheets or parchment paper.Brush a little oil on each of the rounds and spread the filling on one half of each round. Fold the other side over the filling and lightly press it to seal.
Brush the tops with a little oil/ butter and sprinkle some sesame seeds over it. Poke a small hole on the top of the calzones to avoid the contents from bursting out while baking.

Bake for about 20- 25 minutes until the surface is brown.
You can turn them over after about 10 minutes to ensure even cooking on both sides.
