Cala Millor Calzone With Serrano Ham And Manchego Cheese

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 8 ounces Serrano ham, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces Manchego cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a 6-inch circle.
  3. Spread a tablespoon of tomato sauce on one half of each dough circle, leaving a border around the edge.
  4. Layer the Serrano ham, Manchego cheese, chopped basil, and red pepper flakes on top of the tomato sauce.
  5. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg, then fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal.
  6. Transfer the calzones to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush the tops with olive oil, and make a small slit on the top of each calzone to allow steam to escape.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
