Seven-Cheese Calzone

Seven cheeses in a single dish might seem excessive, but the Italians know what they are doing. Every cheese has its role: mozzarella stretches, parmesan seasons, gorgonzola adds character, ricotta creams. This is not just a pizza, but a cheese encyclopaedia wrapped in dough.

Instructions

1

Prepare the dough (flour, salt, sugar, yeast, water, oil), and prove for 1 hour.

Tip: You can reduce the dough salt content slightly, considering the salty filling.
2

Mix the 7 types of cheese with the garlic and oregano in a bowl.

Tip: Don't mix the ricotta completely smooth; leave chunks in for texture.
3

Roll out the dough into 4 circles, fill with the cheese mixture.

Tip: Leave plenty of rim, as the melted cheese will be runny.
4

Seal thoroughly (fork + folding), brush with egg, prick.

Tip: The steam vent is critical here, otherwise cheese steam will burst the dough.
5

Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: If a little cheese leaks out and browns on the tray, that's the cook's reward (frico)!

Recipe FAQ

It was too salty.
Cheeses (especially feta, parmesan, gorgonzola) are very salty. Do not add extra salt to the dough or sauce!
Grease leaked out.
This much cheese contains a lot of fat. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes after baking so the cheeses solidify a little.
