A golden parcel of cheesy, crispy joy.
Did you know the calzone was born in Naples in the 18th century? It was designed as a walkable pizza — folded and baked so you could eat it on the go without a mess. This version with @dorsognasmallgoods Salami Romano is bold, golden, and packed with flavour. Plus, it’s gluten-free and super easy to pull together!

🛒 INGREDIENTS (Makes two calzones):
For the dough (GF):
2 cups gluten-free plain flour (with xanthan gum)
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
Splash of warm water, if needed
For the filling (per calzone):
Spoonful of ricotta
Peeled tinned tomatoes, torn into chunks
@dorsognasmallgoods Salami Romano, cubed
Provolone cheese, cubed
Fresh basil leaves
Grated Parmesan
👩🍳 STEP-BY-STEP:
Make the dough: Mix all dough ingredients until smooth, knead lightly, and rest for 10 minutes.
Fill it up: Roll out the dough into a round, on one half, layer ricotta, tomatoes, salami, provolone, basil, and parmesan.
Seal the deal: Fold the dough over to form a half-moon, crimp the edges well.
Bake & enjoy: Bake at 220°C for 15 minutes until puffed and golden. Let it cool slightly... then bite into that crispy outside and melty centre.
