Instructions
Step 1
Place the Multi-Purpose Pan on the bottom layer of the Deluxe Reversible Rack in the lower position, then place the rack in the pot. Place the dough balls in the pan.
Step 2
Close the lid and move the slider to AIR FRY/STOVETOP. Select PROOF, set the temperature to 95°F,and set the time to 30 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin the rise.
Step 3
When proofing is complete, carefully remove the rack and the pan. Place the dough balls on a clean, floured or oiled, work surface and roll into 8-inch round circles.
Step 4
Select SEAR/SAUTÉ and set the temperature to 3. Select START/STOP to preheat the unit for 5 minutes.
Step 5
While the unit is preheating, whisk together the milk and eggs in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Once the unit has preheated, pour the oil into the pot followed by the egg mixture. Allow the egg mixture to cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula. Add the bacon and cook for 2 more minutes or until the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny.
Step 7
Remove the eggs from the pot and set aside. Carefully wipe the pot clean and pour the water into the pot.
Step 8
To assemble the calzones, put 2 tablespoons of salsa on half of each dough round, leaving a 1-inch perimeter. Add the egg mixture, cheese, and remaining 2 tablespoons of salsa.
Step 9
Wet the edges of the dough with water and fold the dough over the toppings. Firmly press the edges of the dough to seal. Cut 3 vents on the top of each calzone.
Step 10
Carefully transfer each calzone to the Cook & Crisp™ Basket with the flat sides touching in the center. Place the basket in the pot and close the lid.
