directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the pancetta, onion, garlic, oregano, hot pepper flakes and fennel seeds (if using) for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Increase heat to medium-high; add mushrooms, salt and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes or until browned. Remove from heat; cool slightly and stir in cheese and basil. Reserve.

Step 2

Meanwhile, pulse the flour, yeast and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade until combined. Whisk the water with the oil and corn syrup. With the motor running, slowly add the water mixture until the dough forms a ball. Transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 4 minutes or until smooth.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 24 balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball of dough into a round. Place 2 tbsp (30 mL) of filling on one side of each round leaving a small border; fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges to seal tightly.

Step 4

Transfer the mini calzones to a parchment-lined or cornmeal-dusted baking sheet; brush tops with egg white. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Rest for 5 minutes before serving. Makes 24 calzones.
