How to Make Pepperoni Cheese Bread Calzone

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups self-raising flour (or 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 tsp baking powder, pinch of salt) and 1 tsp dried oregano.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup milk.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix quickly until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead for 30 seconds, then press or roll into a 30cm x 20cm rectangle, about 5mm thick.
  6. In a small bowl, beat together 4 oz (115g) cream cheese and 2 tbsp milk until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1cm border.
  8. Top the cream cheese with 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Beat 1 egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush the egg mixture around the border of the dough.
  10. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  11. Place the calzone on a lightly greased baking tray.
  12. Cut a few slits across the top of the dough and brush with remaining egg mixture.
  13. Sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  14. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  15. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with a fresh green salad or cut into smaller pieces for finger food.
