Nutella and Ricotta Calzones

February 24, 2014 By Kerry Cooks 6 Comments

Easy Nutella and Ricotta Calzones by kerrycooks.com

 This is it people, my (and probably your) kryptonite. Deliciously chocolatey, gooey, decadent nutella is paired with smooth creamy ricotta and tucked up in pillowy dough. A warm dessert snack bursting with nutella goodness – that you can eat with your hands? Yes please! How much would kids love these?

These Nutella and Ricotta Calzones are the perfect mix of sweet and savoury – the calzones are topped with salt and help to temper the sickly sweetness of the nutella, as does the gorgeous cool ricotta. The dough recipe is the same one as I use for my homemade pizzas and calzones. Like possibly many other carb-aholics, I think that the crust is the most delicious part of the pizza, especially when its crunchy and golden on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

I was inspired to make these calzones after paying a visit to the wonderful Pizza Pilgrims in Soho (London). If you’re a pizza fanatic like me, you have to eat there – it’s wonderful. After two ginormous pizzas, we made room to share a nutella ricotta pizza ring for dessert. It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever had, and I knew I had to share a homemade version with you.

Does this look wrong?
For the dough
  1. 500g plain flour
  2. 300ml tepid water
  3. 2 tbsp olive oil
  4. 1 tbsp sugar
  5. 1 tsp salt
  6. 7g sachet instant dried yeast
For the filling
  1. 250g nutella (you'll need a large jar but won't need quite all of it, but hey, leftover nutella!)
  2. 150g ricotta
To make the dough
  1. Assemble the flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Start adding tepid water and stirring with a wooden spoon until you have a wet dough mixture - you want it to be wet enough that the flour will all be completely incorporated. Next, you may need to add a little more flour to get to a knead-able texture. Turn the dough out onto a clean floured work surface, and knead for five minutes, or until the dough is soft, springy and pliable. Pop into a clean, oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave to rise for 45 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 220c/gas mark 7/425f and lightly flour two large baking/cookie sheets.
  3. After 45 minutes, punch down your dough, turn it out and briefly knead again. Then use a sharp knife to cut the dough into two, cut those halves into two, and repeat, until you have 8-10 small parcels of dough.
  4. Roll each one out with a rolling pin into a roughly circular shape (make sure the surface is plenty floured).
  5. Spoon generous heapings of nutella onto the calzone discs, and top with a couple of teaspoonfuls of ricotta. Maybe another drizzle of nutella for good measure. Fold the dough over, and crimp the edges, using either your fingers or a fork. Pop onto the baking tray and bake in a hot oven for 10-15 minutes, or until browned and bubbling.
Notes
  1. These could also be served drizzled with strawberry sauce, or they'd be great with a scoop of really good vanilla ice cream.
