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 for easier rolling.
2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about 3-4 mm thick. Shape it into a large circle, then cut it into two equal halves.
3
In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce with the minced garlic, finely chopped chili, oregano, salt, and pepper.
4
Cut the ham into small strips and spread them evenly over the spiced tomato sauce.
5
Grate the mozzarella cheese and sprinkle it over the ham.
6
Place the filling on one half of the dough, then fold the other half over. Use a fork to press down the edges to seal the calzone well.
7
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the top of the calzone to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
8
Place the calzone on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
After baking, let it cool slightly, then drizzle with a little olive oil and serve warm.
