Steps:

  • 1- Dough- Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl. Add 1 tablesp olive oil, sugar and salt. Add flour gradually until dough is smooth and pliable. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface working dry ingredients totally into the dough. Pour 1 teas of olive oil in a container. Put dough in container, evenly coating dough with the oil on both sides. Cover and let rise in a warm area for 40 minutes or until dough doubles in size. 2- Filling- Cut camembert into smaller more manageable pieces: 1/2" chunks. Combine the ricotta, camembert cheese, pepperoni, ham and basil in a large bowl. Mix well. Cover and chill. 3- Preheat oven to 375 degrees 5 minutes before dough is finished rising. 4- Remove dough and punch dough down. Separate into either 2 pieces (for 2 bigger calzones) or 4 pieces (for smaller calzones). Roll dough flat and in a circle shape on a floured surface. Fill calzones with either 2 parts or 4 parts (depending on whether you are making 2 or 4 calzones). Fill with filling and fold dough over the filling. Pinch edges and secure with fork marks along open edge of calzone. Brush beaten egg over top of calzone. Place on a oven stone or greased cookie sheet. 5- Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. 1/2 way through cooking, Turn calzones in 180 degree angle to ensure even brownness. Calzones are done when dough turns a golden brown color and dough is cooked and not doughy. 6-Heat dipping sauce and add spices to taste. 7- Take calzones out and dip into sauce.
