Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using store-bought pizza dough, let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to make it easier to roll out.
2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about 1/8 inch (3-4 mm) thickness. Shape it into a large circle, then cut it into two equal halves.
3
Slice the roasted duck breast into thin strips, and thinly slice the onion.
4
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until caramelized. Add the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes.
5
Combine the sautéed onion with the sliced roasted duck breast, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
6
Grate the mozzarella cheese and mix it with the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the duck and onion mixture.
7
Place the filling on one half of the dough, then fold the other half over it. Use a fork to press down the edges to seal the calzone tightly.
8
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the top of the calzone to give it a beautiful golden-brown color.
9
Place the calzone on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
10
After baking, let it cool slightly, then drizzle with a little olive oil and serve warm.
