Method
- 1
Ready oven. Heat the oven to 245 °C with the shelf in the middle position, line the baking tray with foil and brush it with 1 tbsp of the olive oil.
- 2
Mix filling. Combine the shredded cooked chicken, grated mozzarella, crumbled blue cheese, cayenne pepper hot sauce and ground black pepper in a bowl.
- 3
Roll dough. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces and roll and stretch each on a lightly floured work surface to a 20 cm circle.
- 4
Fill and fold. Spread a quarter of the filling over the lower half of each dough round, leaving a 2–3 cm border all around, fold the top half of the dough over to cover the filling and crimp the edges firmly to seal.
- 5
Slash. Cut two slits about 2–3 cm long in the top of each folded pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
- 6
Transfer. Lift the sealed calzones onto the oiled foil-lined tray.
- 7
Glaze. Brush all over with the remaining olive oil.
- 8
Bake. Bake for about 15 min until deep golden in colour, then leave on a wire rack for 5 min before serving.
Storage

Why this label?
44.8 g protein for 700 kcal = 6.4 g per 100 kcal, so protein gives about 26% of the energy. High protein needs at least 20% (5 g per 100 kcal), the condition in the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
EU nutrition claims
- Sugar-free: 0.5 g sugars per 100 g (limit ≤ 0.5 g)
Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 242 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
Free sugars
0 g per serving
0 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 0 % of the ideal 25 g
Free sugars under 50 g a day, ideally about 25 g, based on WHO free-sugar guidance (not endorsed by WHO). The share shown is the share of one serving. WHO
