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 the dough is 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
Roughly chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
4
Divide the risen dough into two equal parts, then roll each part into a circle about 5 mm thick.
5
Spread sour cream on one half of each dough circle. Top with crumbled Gorgonzola, grated mozzarella and Parmesan, and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
6
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal, preventing the filling from leaking.
7
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.
8
Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
After baking, drizzle a little honey over the top to balance the flavors.
10
Wait a few minutes before slicing to prevent the filling from being too hot and runny.
