Calzone With Sausage, Greens And Ricotta
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 3/4 pound Italian sausage (bulk or removed from casing)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 6 cups young, tender greens, such as beet greens, Swiss chard, escarole or radicchio, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
- large pinch of red chile flakes
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm (110 degrees F) water
- 3 cups unbleached bread flour
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the bowl
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast, 1/2 cup of the warm water, and 1/2 cup of the flour and stir to mix.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature until bubbles are visible, about 30 minutes.
- Add the remaining 21/2 cups flour, the remaining 1/2 cup warm water, the salt, and the oil and, using a wooden spoon, stir until the dough comes together in a rough mass.
- Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it.
- Knead the dough until smooth, elastic, and a bit tacky to the touch, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a ball.
- Oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn the dough to coat it on all sides with oil.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place (75F) until doubled in volume, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- (Alternatively, let the dough rise in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next day, bring the dough to room temperature before continuing.)
