Incredible Homemade Calzone

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Proof Time: 4 hours
Bake Time: 15-20 minutes
Servings: 2 calzones

Ingredients:

Crust:

• 125 g all-purpose flour (type 00, 10-11% protein)
• 50 g durum flour (semilona)
• 75 g high-protein flour (13-14% protein)
• 200 mL warm water
• 5 g salt
• 8 g dry active yeast

Filling:

• 250 g sliced ham (pick your favourite ham)
• 150 g mozarella cheese
• 100 g tomato puree
• Olives
• Dried basil
• Parmigiano cheese

Directions:

1. To make the crust: Weigh all flour. In the large bowl, combine all of the ingredients, and mix and knead — using your hands, a mixer, or a bread machine set on the dough setting — to make a soft, smooth dough.
2. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in the warm place for at least 3 hours.
3. After 3 hours, gently knead the dough and divide it into 2 equal bowls. Cover it, and let rest for about 1 hour.
4. Working with one half at a time, place the dough on a piece of parchment, or onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
5. Feel free to use your own favorite filling. Add 2-3 Tbsp tomato puree, dried basil inside and outside to the calzone. Sprinkle with parmigiana cheese.
6. Preheat the oven to 225°C (435°F). Bake the calzone for 15 to 20 minutes, until they’re golden brown.
