Recipe Summary Heart Shaped Whole Wheat Mini Calzones

This is a fun Valentine's recipe to make with your child. My daughter loved helping and cutting out the dough into hearts.

Ingredients | Recipes With Chicken And Broccoli

1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour

1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 ¼ cups warm water

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

4 teaspoons active dry yeast

cooking spray

1 cup chopped broccoli

1 cup shredded cooked chicken breast

1 cup light cream cheese, softened

Directions

Combine white whole wheat flour, whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer; make a well in the center of flour mixture.

Mix water, olive oil, and honey together in a separate bowl; sprinkle yeast over water mixture. Let stand without stirring until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.

Pour yeast mixture into well of the flour mixture; mix on low setting using paddle beater until combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Replace paddle beater with dough hook and beat dough on low setting for 10 minutes.

Spray the inside of a large bowl with cooking spray.

Transfer dough to the prepared bowl; cover bowl with a towel and let rise in a warm area at least 30 minutes (1 hour for better texture).

Divide dough into two balls; knead each by hand for about 1 minute.

Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.

Roll each dough ball out with a rolling pin onto the prepared baking sheets about 1/4 inch thick. Cut dough into an even number of hearts using heart-shaped cookie cutters.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl; cook on high in microwave until slightly tender, 1 to 2 minutes.

Mix cooked broccoli, chicken, and cream cheese together in a bowl. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons filling into the center of a heart; top with another heart. Seal edges together by pressing around the heart with a fork. Repeat with remaining filling and hearts.

Bake in the preheated oven until hearts are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
