Easy Calzone
This is a great cheese and tomato sauce calzone.
Ingredients
- whole wheat
- kosher salt or coarse sea salt
- instant yeast
- water, enough to cover egg
- ricotta
- mozzarella
- tomato sauce or stewed tomatoes
- oregano, thyme, or savory spice
Instructions
- Make the pizza dough. Proof for at least 1 hour.
- Divide dough into 4 pieces and roll into 1/4 inch circles. Tip: to make round shape, using the cupping method I learned working as a teenage pizza maker. Cup your hand around the sides of the dough and move circularly around until you get a round shape. You may need to knead back down as you want a level piece.
- Add sauce layer.
- On one circle end, add cheese.
- Add oregano or other spices.
- Fold the circle to make a half circle or half moon.
- Join the two halves, with the crimping fork method (like you would see in hand pies) or my favorite is the pinch and fold on top crimp method to give a fancy but homemade edge vibe like in the photo.
