Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, then knead into 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
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling: chop the wild garlic and garlic cloves.
4
In a skillet, heat a little olive oil, then sauté the garlic and wild garlic over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
5
Mix the ricotta, grated mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, and oregano, then add the sautéed wild garlic and garlic.
6
Divide the risen dough into two equal portions, then roll each out into a circle, about 5 mm thick.
7
Spoon the wild garlic and cheese mixture onto one half of each circle, then fold the other half over the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal and prevent the filling from leaking out.
8
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top of each calzone with beaten egg for a nice 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 allow the filling to cool slightly and prevent it from running out.
