Ingredients

• 400 g All-purpose flour
• 7 g Active dry yeast
• 1 tsp Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 250 ml Warm water
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 100 g Ham, thinly sliced
• 100 g Salami, thinly sliced
• 150 g Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 100 g Ricotta cheese
• 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Oregano, dried
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 200 ml Tomato sauce (optional, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 4

Punch the risen dough down and divide it into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a circular shape about 6-8 inches in diameter.

Step 5

In a bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, oregano, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 6

On one half of each dough circle, layer slices of ham, salami, and a generous amount of the cheese mixture, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 7

Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling to form a semicircle. Press the edges together, then crimp and fold them to seal tightly.

Step 8

Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg to ensure a golden-brown crust during baking.

Step 9

Bake the calzones in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the calzones from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with tomato sauce for dipping, if desired.
