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 form a soft, non-sticky dough. If the dough is 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 it has doubled in size.
3
Mince the garlic, then mix it with the tomato sauce, basil, oregano, and black pepper.
4
In a skillet, sauté the minced garlic in a little olive oil, then add the seasoned tomato sauce. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5
Divide the risen dough into two equal parts, then roll each part into a circle, about 5 mm thick.
6
Spread the tomato sauce on one half of each dough circle, then top with the goat cheese, sliced mozzarella, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Drizzle a little honey over the cheese for a sweet and savory flavor.
7
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, and firmly press the edges to seal, preventing the filling from leaking out.
8
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of each calzone with beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden-brown color.
9
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10
Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before slicing, to prevent the filling from spilling out while it's too hot.
