🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Prepare the dough: mix flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Add warm water and olive oil. Knead for 10 minutes until you get a smooth ball.

  2. 2

    Let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm place, covered with a damp cloth.

  3. 3

    Prepare the filling: sauté crumbled Italian sausage. Add chopped garlic and fresh spinach.

  4. 4

    Mix the preparation with ricotta, grated mozzarella, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each ball into a disk about 20cm in diameter.

  6. 6

    Fill one half of each disk with the preparation, leaving 2cm free border. Fold over and seal edges well.

  7. 7

    Brush calzones with egg yolk and bake at 220°C for 15-20 minutes until golden.

Tips & Tricks
  • For better dough rising, place it in a warm place away from drafts.
  • Drain spinach well to prevent calzones from becoming soggy during baking.
  • Ricotta brings creaminess while mozzarella ensures stringy and melting texture.
  • Watch the browning during the last minutes of baking for a crispy crust.
