Calzone 

Good Italian food can be found in places ranging from casual pizzerias to upscale fine-dining establishments and everything in between. Calzoni is a pizza that is folded in half before cooking to contain a filling. My calzones are enhanced with Italian herbs, olive oil and Parmigiano-Reggiano. The baked calzone ricotta and salami is an alternative to the classic pizza, the filling of ricotta and salami inside is very greedy. Since I prepare pizza often, my children love the Pizza Margherita, this time I wanted to prepare baked calzones, a very delicious variant of pizza and I used a filling of ricotta, mozzarella and spianata calabra, a spicy salami typical of Calabria, as an alternative to the salami that I was missing. The result was exceptional, a calzone not at all greasy, with a stringy and delicious filling. For the filling of the calzones you can indulge yourself according to your tastes, preparing escarole calzones, with broccoli and sausages, with prosciutto, mushrooms, and to make your children happy with sausages and chips.

Procedure

Take a dough obtained previously and spread it with your hands, never with a rolling pin, on a floured surface, until you get a circle. Put the pizza disc in a baking dish. Prepare the filling. Crush the ricotta with a fork, add the diced and drained mozzarella, a few slices of chopped salami and pepper. If you use the Calabrian esplanade do not put the pepper. Stir to mix the ingredients. Fill one half of the disc with the previously prepared filling, leaving an edge of about 1 cm. to easily close the calzone. At this point close the calzone by putting the part of free dough on the stuffed one and seal the edge well with your fingers. You have thus obtained a crescent. Bake the calzone in the preheated oven at the highest temperature until it is cooked on the surface. Since the base of the calzone remains a little moist, turn the calzone and cook it for a few minutes. Remove from the oven the calzone ricotta and salami and let it cool. Serve and enjoy your meal. And here is a photo showing the inside of the cooked calzone.
