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, 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
Slice the mushrooms, cut the bell pepper into strips, and chop the olives. Crush the garlic.
4
In a skillet, sauté the mushrooms, bell pepper, and garlic in a little olive oil for 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened.
5
Divide the risen dough into two equal portions and roll each into a circle, about 5 mm thick.
6
On one half of each circle, spread the tomato sauce, then sprinkle with the sautéed vegetables, olives, grated mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
7
Fold the other half over the filling and firmly press the edges to seal, preventing the filling from spilling out.
8
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of each calzone with beaten egg to achieve 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 them cool for a few minutes before slicing, to prevent the filling from being too hot and runny.
