DOUGH

To make the dough, combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add water and oil. Stir to form a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Set aside, covered, while making the filling.

FILLING

1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes (medium boiled eggs). Drain and immerse in cold water. Peel and chop into 1cm dice.
2. Combine chopped eggs, ham, tomatoes, oregano and cheese. Mix well.

CALZONES

1. Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C (fan-forced) and line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
2. On a floured bench, cut ball of dough into eight equal pieces. Roll out each piece to a 12cm circle.
3. Divide filling into 8 portions, approx. ⅓ cup per portion. Spoon onto one half of each of the dough circles. Fold pastry to enclose filling and pinch edges together.
4. Place calzone on prepared tray and cook for 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Serve warm or cold.
