Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in ½ cup (100 ml) of lukewarm water (taken from the 3 cups / 700 ml).
- Leave to rest for 15 minutes.
- Add the olive oil and the flour, and mix, gradually adding the water, until you obtain a smooth and elastic dough.
- Finally, add the salt, and knead for 3 minutes.
- Cover the dough, and let it rise at room temperature for 2 hours, when it should double in size.
- Knock back the dough on a floured work surface, and divide it into 8 equal pieces, about 4 oz (125 g) each, and roll out.
- In a bowl, mix the ricotta, salami or ham, and a little pepper. Add the egg yolks and the Pecorino Romano, then the mozzarella and the Scamorza.
- Mix to obtain a somewhat firm, homogeneous cream. Set aside.
- On a floured work surface, thinly roll out a piece of dough into a disc like a pizza.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of passata in the center, and then spread ⅛ of the filling, leaving about ½ inch (1 cm) around the edges.
- Fold the disc into a half-moon shape, then starting from the center and working toward the ends, seal it well by firmly pressing the edges together.
- Fold the edges inward, and press down again.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough, the passata, and the filling.
- Place the calzoni onto 4 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (2 calzoni per sheet).
- Brush the surface of each calzone with passata.
- Place in a warm place for another 20 minutes to rise again.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 440 F (225˚C).
- Drizzle olive oil on each calzone, and place one baking sheet of calzoni toward the bottom of the oven.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
- The calzoni should swell a little, turn a little brown, and their surface should dry a little.
- To check if the calzone is fully baked, check the underside: the dough must be golden and not white.
- Remove the calzoni from the oven, and bake the rest, two at a time.
- Eat hot or warm.

CALZONE
Calzone is a folded Italian pizza which, by the sheer nature of its shape, is far more portable than a normal pizza and looks a bit like a Cornish pasty or turnover. Although the flavorings can be the same as for pizza, Italians often fill their calzone with leftover vegetables from the night before, or with various things that need using up, mixed with lovely tomatoes and some melting mozzarella. Great served hot or cold.

Steps:
- First, make your Pizza Dough. Preheat the oven to 450 to 500 degrees F, then tear the punched-down dough into 4 pieces and roll each out on a floured surface. You want to get them roughly circular, about the thickness of a silver dollar, and 12 inches across. You can now either keep these in the refrigerator, stacked and separated with olive-oil-rubbed and flour-dusted aluminum foil, until you're ready to cook them, or you can put your topping on and cook them straightaway.
- Pour a large glug of olive oil into a hot frying pan. Add the mushrooms and toss briefly in the hot oil before adding the sliced garlic and the thyme. Fry until the mushrooms are cooked and smell fantastic. Drop in the butter and toss the mushrooms in it to make them tasty and shiny. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Add the tomato sauce to the pan and stir. Cook for a few minutes, then add the spinach (in batches if you need to) and stir again. Simmer away the liquid until you're left with a thick, tasty mixture that's not too moist (otherwise it will burst through the dough when you're cooking the calzone).
- Divide the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly between the 4 pizza bases and spread it out nicely. Top with pieces of mozzarella and season with salt and pepper. To make your calzone, carefully lift the far edge of the Pizza Dough and pull it over the top toward you - you basically need to fold it in half (imagine it looking like a big Cornish pasty!). Crimp the edges so none of the filling can spill out. Place the calzone side by side on a floured baking sheet, (use 2 if needed), pizza stone or granite slab.
- Cook for 10 to 15 minutes on the bottom of the preheated oven until the dough is puffed up and golden on top and the filling is hot.
- Sift the flours and salt onto a clean work surface and make a well in the middle. In a large measuring cup, mix the yeast, sugar and olive oil into the water and leave for a few minutes, then pour into the well. Using a fork, bring the flour in gradually from the sides and swirl it into the liquid. Keep mixing, drawing larger amounts of flour in, and when it all starts to come together, work the rest of the flour in with your clean, flour-dusted hands. Knead until you have a smooth, springy dough.
- Place the ball of dough in a large flour-dusted bowl and flour the top of it. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm room for about 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size.
- Now remove the dough to a flour-dusted surface and knead it around a bit to push the air out with your hands - this is called punching down the dough. You can either use it immediately, or keep it, wrapped in plastic wrap, in the fridge (or freezer) until required. If using straightaway, divide the dough up into as many little balls as you want to make pizzas - this amount of dough is enough to make about six to eight medium pizzas.
- Timing-wise, it's a good idea to roll the pizzas out about 15 to 20 minutes before you want to cook them. Don't roll them out and leave them hanging around for a few hours, though - if you are working in advance like this it's better to leave your dough, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator. However, if you want to get them rolled out so there's 1 less thing to do when your guests are round, simply roll the dough out into rough circles, about 1/4-inch thick, and place them on slightly larger pieces of olive-oil-rubbed and flour-dusted aluminum foil. You can then stack the pizzas, cover them with plastic wrap, and pop them into the refrigerator.
THE VERSATILE CALZONE
Meal in a pizza crust. I love to make a huge batch of these with 3-4 different fillings, freeze them, and pack a few in the husband's lunch. The pizza crust is one my mom has used for years, and the fillings come from playing around with my favorite things to eat.

Steps:
- Dough: Mix together water, yeast, 4 cups wheat flour, salt, and oil.
- Add white flour until you have a dough that follows the spoons around the bowl but still sticks to the sides of the bowl. Let dough rise to double (about an hour), punch down, and shape. I don't let mine rise again once I've shaped it, but it does some rising of its own as it cooks.
- Fillings: Ooooh, just have fun!
- Depending on the filling, top calzones for the last 5 minutes of baking with: egg wash, honey glaze, extra cheese.
- Also, make extra liquid parts when you make the fillings and freeze along with the calzones for a dipping sauce.
- Be sure to wrap with a paper towel when reheating in the microwave.
- (reheating in toaster oven is preferable.).
- Cook calzones at 300°F for 30 minutes.
- These can be frozen before or after cooking. When cooking a raw, frozen calzone, cook for 50 minutes at 300°F.

Steps:
- Place the frozen rolls (or frozen bread loaves) on a baking sheet to thaw. Cover with a tea towel and let thaw and rise for 2 to 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and allow to cook for a couple of minutes. Add the sausage and cook until brown, crumbling the sausage as you stir. Add the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Remove from the skillet and allow to cool on a plate.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, some pepper, parsley and 2 eggs.
- When the sausage is cool, stir it into the cheese mixture and set aside.
- When the rolls are thawed and risen, roll them out on a lightly floured surface until paper thin. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of the filling onto half of the dough circle. Fold half of the dough over itself, and then press the edges to seal.
- Brush the surface of each calzone with the beaten egg, and then bake until nice and golden brown, 10 to 13 minutes. Serve with warm Marinara Sauce.
- Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil into a hot pan over medium-high heat and throw in the garlic and chopped onions and give them a stir.
- Now add the wine (or chicken broth), whisking to deglaze the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the liquid reduces by half.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of sugar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Toward the end of the cooking process, chop up your fresh parsley and basil and add it to the sauce to taste, stirring to combine.
ROAST VEGETABLE CALZONE
Big enough to feed the entire family with some to spare. This calzone is a flavorful combination of grilled zucchini, artichoke heats, roasted red pepper, grilled eggplant, sundried tomatoes, and feta cheese.

- Spread the vegetable/ cheese mix evenly on the parbaked fococcia round. Add a little extra cheese to the top. Egg wash the edge.
- Roll out the other half of the dough into a circle a little larger than the base. Cover the vegetables so that a little hangs over the edge. Roll up the edge of the top dough to the edge of the bottom.
- Egg Wash the top. Sprinkle with mixed herbs and poppyseeds. Place olives around the edge of the calzone for decoration.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until nice and golden brown. Allow to cool.
- Slice between the olives and serve.

REAL ITALIAN CALZONES
This is real calzone, because there is no tomato sauce INSIDE of it! We eat it at least once a week. Have a bowl of tomato or spaghetti sauce on the table for people to top their calzone with, if desired.

Steps:
- To Make Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the oil, sugar and salt; mix in 1 cup of the flour until smooth. Gradually stir in the rest of the flour, until dough is smooth and workable. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it is elastic. Lay dough in a bowl containing 1 teaspoon olive oil, then flip the dough, cover and let rise for 40 minutes, or until almost doubled.
- To Make Filling: While dough is rising, combine the ricotta cheese, Cheddar cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms and basil leaves in a large bowl. Mix well, cover bowl and refrigerate to chill.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- When dough is ready, punch it down and separate it into 2 equal parts. Roll parts out into thin circles on a lightly floured surface. Fill each circle with 1/2 of the cheese/meat filling and fold over, securing edges by folding in and pressing with a fork. Brush the top of each calzone with egg and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
