Preparation Steps
1
Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl and add the salt. Mix well to ensure an even consistency for the dough.
2
Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water, then add it to the flour. Pour in the olive oil and start to combine the ingredients to form a dough.
3
Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, add a little flour, but be careful not to add too much, as it can dry out the dough.
4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5
Dice the chicken breast into small cubes and finely chop the onion. In a skillet, sauté the onion in a little olive oil until translucent, then add the chicken and minced garlic.
6
Once the chicken begins to brown, add the harissa paste and cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
7
Punch down the risen dough on a floured surface, then divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle.
8
Mix the tomato sauce with the oregano, then spread a thin layer over half of each dough circle, leaving the edges free.
9
Spoon the harissa chicken filling onto the tomato-covered portion of the dough, then sprinkle with grated mozzarella and feta cheese.
10
Fold the dough in half, pressing down the edges to seal. Use a fork to firmly crimp the edges, ensuring they are well-sealed to prevent them from opening during baking.
11
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then brush them with beaten egg to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
12
Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
13
Let the baked calzones rest for a few minutes before serving hot.
