This week is unfortunately another busy one. To prepare us for the Live Below The Line Challenge we will be undertaking in a few weeks time, I shall be cooking dinners from this post which are frugal yet tasty, in fact all the meals cost less than £1 per serving.
Breakfasts will be porridge with added dried fruit on weekdays and pancakes and homemade crumpets on the weekend.
Lunches will be Calzone with crudites, a piece of fruit and a baked treat for afters. We will be out at a friends for lunch on Saturday, I shall be taking the puddings and on Sunday we will have Twice Baked Potatoes.
Basic 50/50 Bread Dough for Calzone
250g strong white bread flour
250g wholemeal bread flour
250g wholemeal bread flour
7g sachet instant/fast action yeast
1 teaspoon salt
300ml luke-warm water
1 Tblsp oil
Weigh the flour, yeast and salt into a bowl. Add all the water and mix with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is very sticky, add a little more flour. Put the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave to prove for one hour or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 12 - 16 portions. Roll each portion out into a round and put a little filling in the centre. Moisten the edge of the dough slightly with a little water, fold one half of the dough over the other and press together to enclose the filling. Place the Calzone on to lined baking trays.
Pre-heat your oven to 200°C/180°C Fan. Bake the Calzone in the preheated oven for 15 – 20 minutes.
