About

“The calzone of Puglia is quite different from the more familiar calzone of Naples, which is essentially a folded pizza. The Puglian version looks more like a pie or giant pasty. Also known as pizza di acqua viva, they are traditionally eaten to celebrate the feast days of the two saints, Dottori Cosimo and Damiano.”

Method

To make the pastry, put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the olive oil, egg and white wine, and gradually mix into the flour to make a dough, adding water if necessary, and a pinch of salt. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes before rolling. Meanwhile, preheat heat the oven to 200°C/Gas
