Calzone Ingredients
Method
Calzone Directions
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Stir in olive oil, salt, and flour gradually until a dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling
In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese, oregano, black pepper, grated Romano cheese, and chopped parsley until well combined.

Assemble the Calzones
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 8 inches in diameter. Place a generous scoop of filling on one half of the circle, then fold the other half over the filling and crimp the edges to seal.

Bake the Calzones
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut small slits on top for steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
