Ingredients
Method
- In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, diced smoked ham, and freshly ground black pepper. Add a pinch of cayenne to taste. Mix until well combined.
- Preheat oven to 500°F. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 8 inches in diameter on a floured surface.
- On one half of each dough circle, layer prosciutto slices, the ricotta mixture, and fresh mozzarella slices. Fold the other half over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Place calzones on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet. Cut a few small slits on top for steam. Brush with egg wash and dust with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 500°F for 20 minutes or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
