The literal translation of sock or stocking doesn’t sound so appetising but refers to the enclosed nature of calzone.

Ingredients

Semolina dough

Method

Main

1.For semolina dough, combine flour, semolina, dry yeast and 2 tsp sea salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, add olive oil and 400ml water and stir gently to combine. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead until combined and smooth (8-10 minutes). Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and place in a warm place until double in size (45-50 minutes).
2.Heat olive oil in a large frying pan, add garlic and sauté over medium heat until softened (2-3 minutes). Add spinach and rocket and cook until wilted (1-2 minutes). Season to taste and set aside to cool.
3. Preheat oven to 250C. Scatter base of a 40cm x 25cm oven tray with semolina. Roll two-thirds of dough to 45cm x 30cm and place on tray. Arrange wilted greens over, leaving a 3cm border. Scatter with basil, feta and prosciutto, fold in border and set aside. Roll out remaining dough to 40cm x 25cm, place on prepared base and press edges together to seal. Cover loosely with a tea towel and set aside in a warm place until dough has risen slightly (25-30 minutes). Cut slits in the top and bake until golden brown (10-15 minutes). Cut into pieces and serve immediately.

Drink Suggestion: Young and juicy Italian red such as dolcetto or barbera. Drink suggestion by Max Allen
