Preparation Steps
1
Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, add the salt, and mix well. This helps achieve an even consistency in the dough.
2
Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water, then add it to the flour. Pour in the olive oil as well, and start to combine the dough.
3
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. If it is sticky, you can add a little flour, but not too much, as it may dry out the dough.
4
In a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
Finely chop the cooked shrimp. Mince the garlic and sauté it in a little olive oil to release its flavors.
6
Add the shrimp, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley. Sauté for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7
On a floured surface, knead the risen dough, then divide it into 4 equal parts and roll each into a circle.
8
Mix the tomato sauce with the oregano, then thinly spread it over half of each dough circle, being careful to leave the edges free.
9
Spoon the garlic-parsley shrimp mixture onto the tomato-covered part, then sprinkle with grated mozzarella.
10
Fold the dough in half, pressing the edges together. Use a fork to firmly crimp the edges to prevent them from opening during baking.
11
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then brush with beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden brown color.
12
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
13
Let the finished calzones rest for a few minutes, then serve warm.
