Smoked Salmon and Mozzarella Calzone Recipe
- 8 ounces Roma tomatoes (about 2 to 3 medium tomatoes), cored and medium dice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 recipe Basic Pizza Dough or 1 pound 6 ounces store-bought pizza dough, at room temperature
- All-purpose flour, for rolling out the dough
- 4 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Place a baking sheet on the rack while the oven is heating.
- Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes and salt in a colander or strainer set over a bowl and let sit for 20 minutes to drain.
- Whisk together the egg, egg yolk, and water in a small bowl until combined; set aside.
- Divide the pizza dough into 4 pieces.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a paper-thin round about 12 inches in diameter.
- Place a quarter of the salmon on the bottom left side of each dough round, about 1 inch from the edge.
- Top with a quarter of the drained tomatoes, followed by a quarter of the mozzarella.
- Brush a 1-inch-wide border of each dough round with the egg mixture, then fold each dough round in half and then fold in half again (it will resemble a quarter-circle shape).
- Using a fork, crimp the edges of each calzone to seal in the filling, then trim any excess dough so the edges are even.
- Transfer the calzones onto a sheet of parchment paper.
- Brush the tops and edges of the calzones with the egg mixture.
- Remove the hot baking sheet to a wire rack.
- Slide the calzones and parchment onto the baking sheet and bake until golden brown and puffed around the edges, about 20 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
