How to make it
8 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the warm water (110°F (43°C)) and olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 60 minutes.
1 hrPreheat your oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the ricotta, shredded mozzarella, diced salami, and dried oregano
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, shredded mozzarella, diced salami, and dried oregano. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Punch down the dough
Punch down the dough and divide into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the filling
Spread the filling over half of each circle, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges tightly with a fork or by hand to seal.
Place calzones on the baking sheet
Place calzones on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and cut small steam vents in the top of each.
Bake for 15-20 minutes
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side.

A little kitchen wisdom
Ensure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent the cheese from leaking during baking. You can customize the filling with your favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms or peppers.
