Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and dry yeast. Add lukewarm water and olive oil, then knead into a soft, elastic dough. If it's too sticky, add a little flour; if it's too dry, add a little water.
2
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3
Meanwhile, chop the figs into small pieces. Roughly chop the walnuts, then mix them with honey and rosemary.
4
Crumble the goat cheese and prepare the filling.
5
Turn the risen dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into four equal parts. Roll each part into a circle about 3 mm thick.
6
On one half of each circle, spread the goat cheese, then sprinkle with the honey-walnut-fig mixture. Make sure to leave about 1 cm of space around the edges for folding.
7
Fold the dough in half to create a half-moon-shaped calzone. Press the edges firmly to seal, then press with a fork to ensure they don't open during baking.
8
Brush the top of each calzone with a beaten egg to give it a golden-brown color after baking.
9
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the calzone is nicely golden brown.
10
Let it cool slightly, then serve fresh, possibly with extra honey on top or sprinkled with a few toasted walnuts.
