Ricotta Pie Calzones
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs, divided
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 14 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
- 14 cup mozzarella cheese, cut into small dice
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 14 cup prosciutto, finely chopped
- 14 salami, finely chopped
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 lb pizza dough, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix the ricotta with 1 egg yolk, garlic, Parmigiano, Mozzarella, parsley, prosciutto, salami, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Dust a clean work surface with some flour.
- Divide the pizza dough into 6 balls.
- (I formed my dough into a log and sliced into 6 pieces.)
- Roll out each dough ball to about 6 inches in diameter.
- Divide the filling among each, leaving a 1/2-inch rim around the edge.
- In a small bowl, whisk up the remaining egg with a little bit of water.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the rim of each filled dough circle then fold in half to form a half moon shape.
- Pinch the sides gently to secure the filling inside the calzone.
- Place the calzones onto a baking sheet.
- Add the confectioner's sugar to the remaining egg wash and brush the top of each.
- Cut three slits into the top of each.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve with a green salad alongside.
