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
Mince the garlic and sauté it in olive oil over low heat until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
In a bowl, combine the plain yogurt with the sautéed garlic, black pepper, oregano, caraway seeds, and smoked paprika.
5
Divide the risen dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a circle about 5 mm thick.
6
Spread half of the yogurt-spice mixture onto one half of each dough circle. Top with grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
7
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and crimp the edges tightly to seal.
8
Preheat your 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
Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving, to prevent the filling from being too hot.
