Ingredients
all-purpose flour
2lbsfrozen pizza dough,thawed
2poblano chiles
2cupfarmstead cheddar cheese,packed
2tbsppimientos,jarred
salt and freshly ground pepper
½lbsmoked ham
8ozarugula,(2 bunches)
Preparation
Preheat a large baking sheet in a 500 degrees F oven for 10 minutes and carefully spray it with oil.
Meanwhile, on a lightly floured work surface, roll or stretch each ball of dough into a 9-inch round.
In a medium bowl, combine the chiles, 1¾ cups of the cheddar, the pimientos, a pinch of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper; mash to a coarse paste with a fork.
Arrange the ham on the bottom half of each dough round. Top with the arugula and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spread the chile-cheddar mixture over the arugula to within ½ inch of the edge, pressing it slightly to compact.
Fold the top half of the dough over the filling, pressing to release any trapped air; pinch the edges to seal.
Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of cheddar on top and bake for 8 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
