Easy Flatbread & Camping Calzone

It’s fun and very satisfying to make your own bread products. Having said that, a store-bought flat bread or a thicker tortilla will work wonderfully for camping calzones.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ c. all purpose flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• 1 ¼ c. plain Greek yogurt (full fat)
• olive oil for frying
• flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt. Whisk to combine.
2. Add the yogurt and use your hands to bring this mixture into a shaggy dough.
3. Knead the dough until it becomes a smooth ball.

Next

1. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough ball into four pieces.
2. Roll each of those pieces into a ball.
3. Let the four dough balls rest for 10-15 minutes.
4. Roll the dough into a long pipe and coil the dough like a snail, tucking the end under and then slightly flattening the dough with your hand. 
5. Cover with a dish towel and let them rest for another 10 minutes.  

Next

1. Work with one dough ball at a time.
2. Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball out to roughly an eight-inch circle.
3. Emphasis on “rough!” Do the same with the other three dough balls.
4. While each round is waiting to be cooked, ensure that the counter or work surface is floured so nothing sticks.

Next

1. Over medium heat, warm up a large skillet.
2. Brush the skillet with olive oil, add one of the rounds to the pan.
3. Cook until bubbles appear and the colour is golden brown.
4. Flip and cook on the other side. These go fast, about two minutes per side.
5. Cook all the rounds, sprinkle with sea salt while still warm and then let cool on a wire rack.

For packing to take camping, in either a large container or a zip top bag, place each flatbread in between sheets of parchment paper and seal the container.

Camping Calzones

These are great ways to design your own camping meal, requiring quick cooking with many possible flavour combinations.

Flavour combinations:

• mozzarella, tomato, basil
• pesto, shredded cooked chicken, gouda cheese
• tomato sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella
• pear, gouda cheese, pine nuts, basil
• ricotta, nectarine, honey

There is no end to the flavour combinations that can happen with these calzones.

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat on the camp stove, place one tortilla or flatbread in the pan.
2. Add in desired toppings, a pinch of salt and ground black pepper and fold in half.
3. Cook until the bread is golden brown, flip and finish cooking the other side.
4. The cheese should be melted and the calzone golden brown on each side.

Keep cooking until everyone has their calzones!
