Stuffed Calzone

Welcome to the course that will reveal the secret to making a perfect Stuffed Calzone! A soft and rich dough that encases mozzarella, ham, and tomato, perfect for those looking for a complete and flavorful dish.

The calzone is one of the most beloved dishes in Italian culinary tradition, originating in Naples as a variation of pizza. What makes it special is its folded shape, which allows for a rich and generous filling. With its golden, crispy exterior and gooey, flavorful interior, it's a dish that lends itself to endless variations, from the classic version with mozzarella and ham to more elaborate variations with cured meats, vegetables, or even spicy cheeses.

Its versatility is what makes it perfect for any occasion: from a family dinner to a quick meal for a night with friends. Not only is it a dish that satisfies both adults and children, but it’s also an opportunity to get creative with ingredients. Depending on your preferences, you can add ingredients such as mushrooms, olives, peppers, or even spicy salami, creating a calzone that suits everyone's taste.

Baking the calzone is a crucial step: it should be cooked at high temperatures to ensure a crispy crust, while the ingredients inside must melt perfectly, creating a balance of flavors in every bite. Neapolitan tradition calls for using a wood-fired oven for an extra smoky flavor, but even a home oven can yield a surprising result.

Finally, the calzone is not just a simple snack, but can become a complete meal, ideal for those looking for an alternative to pizza, perhaps paired with a fresh salad or a side of seasonal vegetables.

With this course, you'll not only discover the technique for making a perfect calzone but also how to personalize it according to your tastes and those of your guests. Ready to challenge yourself and impress everyone with your version of the stuffed calzone??
