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 lukewarm water, then add it to the flour. Pour in the olive oil as well, and start to combine the dough.
3
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. If it is sticky, you can add a little flour, but not too much, as it may dry out the dough.
4
In a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
Dice the chicken breast into small cubes and start to sauté in a pan with a little olive oil over medium heat.
6
Add the minced garlic, grated orange zest, honey, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Cook over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
7
On a floured surface, knead the risen dough, then divide it into 4 equal parts and roll each into a circle.
8
Mix the tomato sauce with the oregano, then thinly spread it over half of the dough circles, making sure to leave the edges free.
9
Place the grated mozzarella on the tomato base, then evenly distribute the orange chicken mixture over it.
10
Fold the dough in half, press down the edges, then use a fork to firmly press them together to prevent them from opening during baking.
11
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then brush with beaten egg to give them a nice golden brown color.
12
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
13
Let the finished calzones rest for a few minutes, then serve warm.
