- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 cup warm water (adjust as needed)
For the Filling:

- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- ½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- ½ cup capsicum (finely diced)
- ½ cup onions (finely diced)

For Brushing:

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5–7 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and oil. Mix and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 8–10 minutes).
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours or until doubled in size.
Step 2 – Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheeses, vegetables, and seasonings.
- Add pizza sauce and mix well so everything is evenly coated.
Step 3 – Shape the Calzone Chunks
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small equal portions (golf ball size).
- Roll each portion into a small circle.
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold the dough over to make a half-moon shape, and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Step 4 – Bake
- Place the calzone chunks on a lined baking tray.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg (for a golden finish).
- Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Optionally, brush with melted butter for extra flavor.
Step 5 – Serve
Serve your hot Cheezious-style Calzone Chunks with garlic mayo, marinara sauce, or Cheezious-style spicy dip. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best taste.
🔥 Tips for the Perfect Cheezious Taste
- Use smoky, tikka-style chicken for an authentic flavor.
- Don’t skip mozzarella — it gives you that signature cheesy stretch.
- You can also deep-fry instead of baking for an even crispier version (like a pizza puff).
- Adding a little garlic butter on top right after baking boosts aroma and flavor.
