Ingredients
- ¾cup lukewarm water
- 2teaspoons active dry yeast
- ¼cup rye flour
- 1tablespoon milk
- 2tablespoons olive oil, plus oil for surface of dough
- ½teaspoon salt
- 1¾cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2ounces fresh Sonoma goat cheese
- 2ounces French goat cheese
- 7ounces mozzarella
- 2slices prosciutto
- 2tablespoons chives
- 2tablespoons parsley
- 1sprig thyme
- 1sprig marjoram
- 2small cloves garlic
- Black pepper to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Mix one-fourth cup of the lukewarm water, yeast and rye flour. Let rise 20 to 30 minutes, then add the rest of the water, the milk, olive oil, salt and the all-purpose flour.
- Step 2
Mix the dough with a wooden spoon, then knead on a floured board. It will be soft and a little sticky. Use quick motions so the dough will not stick. Add more flour to the board as needed, but no more than absolutely necessary. Knead for 15 to 20 minutes to develop the dough's strength and elasticity. Put it in a bowl rubbed with olive oil and oil the surface of the dough to prevent a crust from forming.
- Step 3
Cover the bowl with a towel and put it in a warm place. Let the dough double for two hours, then punch it down. Let it rise about 40 minutes more.
- Step 4
Crumble the goat cheeses and grate the mozzarella. Julienne the prosciutto. Finely cut two tablespoons of chives and mince the same amount of parsley. Chop the thyme and marjoram and mince the garlic. Blend all these ingredients and season with black pepper.
- Step 5
Roll the dough into a circle 14 inches in diameter, or divide it in two or three pieces to make small calzones. Put the filling on half the dough in a semicircle, leaving a one-inch margin at the edge. Moisten the edge with water and fold the other half of the dough over to make the edges meet. Fold the edges up to form a running curl, pinching it tight. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until browned and crisp. Serve whole and cut with a serrated knife at the table.

..I am not seeing that the suggested oven temp is for the recipe..
I borrowed Ms Waters book from the library to research baking temp. Dough for the calzone is the same used for her pizza. She says to pre-heat the oven with unglazed ceramic tiles on a rack to 450 - 500 F. Since the calzone recipe is in the same section and she does not list a separate temp for baking the calzone, it probably can be assumed that it should be baked at the same temp and with a stone or unglazed ceramic tiles that are pre-heated (probably pre-heated for 45 minutes - one hour).

No oven temp given. Typically, 350-375 is right. Or go find someone with an Italian grandmother to ask...

I’d say at hot as possible. I used 450 on the convection setting and a pizza stone
