Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, and knead until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. 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 doubled in size.
3
While the dough is rising, chop the walnuts, then grate the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
4
Combine the gorgonzola with the grated cheeses, honey, oregano, and basil. Add the chopped walnuts.
5
Divide the risen dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a circle, about 5 mm thick.
6
Spoon the gorgonzola-walnut mixture onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over the filling, and press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring that the filling doesn't leak out.
7
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of the calzones with beaten egg for a beautiful golden-brown color.
8
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the filling to cool slightly.
