Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, and knead until a soft, but not 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
Mince the garlic and mix it with the sour cream, black pepper, and oregano.
4
Divide the risen dough into two equal parts, and roll each part into a circle, about 5 mm thick.
5
Spread the seasoned sour cream on one half of each dough circle, then sprinkle with the grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
6
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, and press the edges firmly to seal. Make sure there are no gaps, or the filling might leak.
7
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of each calzone with beaten egg to give it a nice 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 the calzones cool for a few minutes before slicing, to prevent the filling from being too hot and runny.
