Preparation Steps
1
Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, add the salt, and mix. This helps to achieve a consistent dough texture.
2
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water, then add it to the flour. Pour in the olive oil as well, and start kneading the dough.
3
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. If it's sticky, you can add a little flour, but not too much, as it can dry out the dough.
4
In a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
Meanwhile, finely chop the fresh basil, parsley, and oregano, then mix them with the ricotta and grated mozzarella.
6
Mince the garlic and add it to the herb mixture, then mix thoroughly.
7
On a floured surface, knead the risen dough, then divide it into 4 equal parts and roll each into a circle.
8
Evenly distribute the filling over one half of each dough circle, being careful to leave the edges free.
9
Fold the dough in half, press down the edges, then use a fork to firmly seal them to prevent the calzones from opening during baking.
10
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then brush with beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden brown color.
11
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
12
Let the baked calzones rest for a few minutes, then serve warm.
