    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, then knead until you have a soft, non-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

    Slice the chicken breast thinly, then season with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat with breadcrumbs. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

    4

    Mince the garlic and sauté in a pan with a little olive oil until fragrant. Add the tomato sauce, basil, oregano, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    5

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

    6

    Spread tomato sauce on one half of each dough circle, then top with the fried chicken slices, grated mozzarella, and sprinkle with Parmesan.

    7

    Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, and press the edges firmly to seal, preventing the filling from leaking.

    8

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of the calzone with beaten egg for 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 to prevent the hot filling from spilling out.
