Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, and knead until you have a soft, but not 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
Peel the sweet potato, cut it into small cubes, and cook in salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Then, mash and let it cool completely.
4
Mince the garlic and mix it with the sour cream, black pepper, and oregano.
5
Divide the risen dough into two equal parts, then roll each part into a circle about 5 mm thick.
6
Spoon the sweet potato puree onto one half of each dough circle, then sprinkle with grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
7
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, and press the edges firmly to seal. This will prevent the filling from leaking out.
8
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of each calzone with beaten egg to give it 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
Wait a few minutes before slicing to prevent the filling from being too hot and runny.
