Ricotta Calzones


Hello :) This time I've decided to make calzones. Calzone is an Italian food and in English it means "hanging fold" or "trouser" or "stocking". I'm not quite sure why I made this decision. Simply I had to do lunch and this seemed to be fast and I wanted some salty food, so that's it. Having mozzarella cheese in the fridge was the other reason.
I made myself sure that I had all required ingredients, because I didn't want to let happen the same situation as during the preparation of my Fig'n'Date Cake. The only one missing thing was ricotta cheese - one of the most important things for this recipe. So I had to go the other side of town, because I was sure they wouldn't have it here in our local small shop.
I'm not a big fan of these ready-made/ready-to-use stuff. I prefer making it on my own. But as I said I hadn't had time to make my own dough - it needs a lot of time to make real pizza dough. So my choice was a ready-made pizza dough with olive oil. But next time I'll use my homemade dough and I believe the calzones will be pretty much better.
