Method
Dough

Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Divide and Roll
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 2 equal portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion into an 8-inch circle.

Fill with Nutella
Spread 3–4 tablespoons of Nutella onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.

Seal the Calzone
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal tightly.

Apply Egg Wash
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the top of each calzone with the egg wash for a golden finish.
