Calzone

🌍 Italian, Naples/National Difficulty: ●●●○○

A folded pizza sealed at the edges and baked or fried. The filling must be restrained — too much and steam cannot escape, leaving a raw centre. Press the edges firmly with a fork. Cut a small vent in the top to release steam.

• Pizza dough
• 200g ricotta
• 150g mozzarella
• 100g salami or ham
• Tomato sauce on side for dipping

1. Stretching — Stretch dough; fill half with ricotta, mozzarella, salami.
2. Folding — Fold over; seal edges by pressing.
3. Brushing — Brush with oil; cut vent.
4. Baking — Bake 220°C (425°F), 20 min.
