🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal parts. Roll out each ball into a 20 cm diameter circle on a floured work surface.

  2. 2

    On one half of each dough disk, spread the fresh cream, then add the ham, cheeses and oregano. Salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Fold the dough into a half-moon to cover the filling. Carefully seal the edges by pressing with a fork to weld them well.

  4. 4

    Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with egg yolk diluted with milk. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 200°C until golden brown.

Tips & Tricks
  • Sealing: Firmly seal the edges with a fork to prevent the filling from escaping during baking
  • Fillings: Add mushrooms or spinach to vary the flavors according to your preferences
  • Baking: Check doneness by lifting an edge - the dough should be golden brown and crispy
  • Serving: Ideal served with a green salad for a complete and balanced meal
  • Customization: Replace ham with chicken, add grilled peppers or olives for other variations
Enjoy your meal!
