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, non-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, finely chop the onion and garlic. Sauté them in a pan with a little olive oil until translucent.
4
In a bowl, mix together the sheep cheese, grated mozzarella, and Parmesan. Add the chopped parsley, sautéed onion and garlic, black pepper, and oregano.
5
Divide the risen dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle, about 5 mm thick.
6
Spoon the sheep cheese and cheese mixture onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal.
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
Wait a few minutes before slicing to prevent the filling from running out too hot.
