    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, then knead until you have a soft, but not sticky, dough. If it's too dry, add a little more water.

    2

    Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.

    3

    While the dough is rising, finely chop the red onion and garlic. Sauté them in a skillet with a little olive oil until translucent.

    4

    Add the diced chicken breast and cook over medium heat until golden brown. Sprinkle with the smoked paprika, oregano, and basil.

    5

    Pour in the BBQ sauce, mix well, and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    6

    Divide the risen dough into two equal portions, then roll each portion into a circle about 5 mm thick.

    7

    Spoon the BBQ chicken filling onto one half of each dough circle, then sprinkle with the grated mozzarella and cheddar. Fold the other half over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal, preventing the filling from leaking out.

    8

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of the calzone with a beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden-brown color.

    9

    Place the calzone on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

    10

    Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing, so the filling doesn't ooze out too hot.
