Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, then knead until you have a soft but not sticky dough. 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
While the dough is rising, cut the pineapple into small pieces and chop the cooked ham.
4
Mix the tomato sauce with the oregano and basil, then grate the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
5
Divide the risen dough into two equal parts, then roll each part into a circle, about 5 mm thick.
6
Spread the seasoned tomato sauce on one half of each dough circle, then sprinkle with the ham, pineapple, and grated cheeses. Fold the other half over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal, preventing the filling from leaking out.
7
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of each calzone with beaten egg to give it a beautiful 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
Wait a few minutes before slicing, so the filling doesn't spill out too hot.
