For you can't have pizza for breakfast...
And because I had a pot of pesto lying in my fridge...
And some mushrooms too....
I made calzone instead. Now, that's not pizza, right? All it does is start with the basic pizza dough - 1/2 cup warm water, 1 tsp yeast, 1/2 tsp honey and 1/2 tsp olive oil mixed and kept aside for 10 minutes. Then kneaded with enough flour to make a soft dough (and a pinch of salt somewhere along the way).
Once it doubles, you punch it down, pull out a golf ball of dough and roll it. Here it is spread with pesto, sauteed mushrooms and grated cheddar.

Then folded over, and pressed down with a fork:

Left to rise again for 10-15 minutes. And finally, baked at 270C (or as high as your oven goes) until it browns.
