Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, then knead until a soft, but not sticky, dough forms. If it's 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
Cut the duck breast into smaller pieces. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the duck pieces for 8-10 minutes.
4
Pour in the orange juice, grate in the orange zest, add the honey and minced garlic, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
5
Season with black pepper and oregano, then let the duck mixture cool slightly.
6
Divide the risen dough into two equal portions, then roll each out into a circle, about 5 mm thick.
7
Spoon the orange duck mixture onto one half of each dough circle, then sprinkle with the grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
8
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and firmly press the edges to seal, preventing the filling from escaping.
9
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of the calzone with beaten egg to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
10
Place the calzone on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
11
Wait a few minutes before slicing, to prevent the filling from spilling out while piping hot.
