So, since I love to cook that much, this blog is just going to be dedicated to pictures and recipes that are dear to me and also pictures of what I make, sometimes with other people. Note: I am vegetarian, so none of my creations contain meat or fish in them. I love cheese, however, so not veganism yet =D. Also, none of my desserts contain eggs.

Mini Calzone
Yesterday, my cousin and I had some friends over for dinner. To make it easy, we decided to make mini-pizzas (using the same recipe as last week's). Some changes were made: the pizzas were smaller, and we pre-cooked the dough a little. I made a double batch of dough, thinking we'd eat more, seeing how there were 4 of us. Instead, we ended up with roughly half of the dough as leftover.
While we used up most of the leftover dough on more mini-pizzas for lunch today, I thought it would be interesting to try to make one mini-calzone, just for fun.
I stretched one of the little balls of dough into an oval, then piled on ingredients: some cream cheese (ricotta being saved for something else for next week), followed by leftover tomato pizza sauce, then some defrosted frozen spinach, on top of which I added a few chunks of cream cheese so it would melt into the spinach.
Then I folded the dough over, and closed it, crimping the edges. Cut a few holes over the top to let steam escape, then brushed some olive oil on top.
Once baked at 140°C for some time (and raising the heat a bit to brown the top), it looked a bit disheveled due to some unforeseen leakage at some parts of the edge that wasn't closed well enough.
We nevertheless enjoyed it~
