Ingredients

Instructions

1. Spread a little flour on a board. Place the dough ball in the centre and, using your fingertips, press and open it into a circle, flipping it and flouring both sides.
2. Roll the dough with a rolling pin in one direction and then the other, adding flour on top and repeating. Keep it medium-sized and not too thin.
3. Lay a line of mozzarella through the middle of the dough.
4. Roll up the ham slices and place them on the cheese, keeping the filling away from the edges. Tear the basil leaves over the ham.
5. Fold one half of the dough over the filling to meet the other side, press the edges together with your fingertips, and pull the edges to help them meet.
6. Flour the top, then crimp the edges with a fork, taking care not to make holes, and repeat on the other side.
7. Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan filled to about three-quarters with oil until hot.
8. Drop the calzone into the hot oil, fry for about 2 minutes, then turn it with tongs. Fry until browned on both sides.
9. Lift the calzone out with a slotted utensil, drain it on paper towel and pat the top to remove excess oil.
10. Optionally, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with dried herbs, and add a basil leaf to the side.
