I decided to try scoring my sourdough loaf a little differently.

I basically drew a J on the bread. It turned out looking really delicious.

I guess I found my signature, score a J on the bread for my name!

Empanadas
With the second two portions of dough from my Stromboli posting, I decided to do some experimenting.
I watched a video on YouTube of someone making calzones. Then I remembered long ago, a relative served panelle and calzones at their party. I kind of forgot about the panelle, but do remember it was made from Chick peas.
So in my experimental mind, decided to make Calzones filled with hummus.
Then my DD#1 tells me,,,,, Oh daddy, those are great humus empanadas.
So I thought I invented something NEW, turns out has been around in Latin America, for MANY MANY YEARS.
But I did UNITE the EAST,,,, with the WEST.
Empanadas, are made with a variety of fillings., but I did not find one filled with Humus,,,, Which is a Middle Eastern food.
Here is my Play by play, Much easier with pictures, than typing everything out.

I make my own Hummus. Have been doing it for about 25 years now. Very easy, and the cost is a fraction of Hummus from store deli section.
Above are the ingredients for my Hummus. 3 cans of Garbanzo beans drained. 1/2 jar of Mild Giardiniera. into Blender, until done.

.. Juts a note: I made way more hummus than what I needed to fill my empanadas.

Filling into dough, and then folded over, and sealed.

My Taco meat filling for some, and Olives, Jalapenos, and Pepper Jack Cheese.

Filled,, folded, and sealed.

I egg washed tops of dough,

Out of oven after about 25 minutes,, at 400°F

Cross section of one filled with hummus.

Notes. Most Empanada recipes, do not use Yeast raised dough. No baking powder ether, so no leavening.
I choose to use my pizza dough for both Stromboli, and Empanadas.
