- 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.
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)!
