Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, then knead until a soft, but not sticky, dough forms. 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
Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds, dice the hot pepper into small pieces, and grate the mozzarella cheese.
4
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic, sausage, and hot pepper for 3-4 minutes.
5
Pour in the tomato sauce, add the smoked Hungarian Sweet Paprika, oregano, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Divide the risen dough into two equal parts, then roll each into a circle, about 5 mm thick.
7
Spoon the spiced sausage filling onto one half of each dough circle, then sprinkle with the grated mozzarella and Parmesan. Fold the other half over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal.
8
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of the calzones with beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden-brown color.
9
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing, so the filling doesn't spill out while too hot.
