WATER and FLOUR CALZONES with HAM, a super tasty recipe as an appetizer or aperitif that can be prepared in 10 minutes with a simple dough of water and flour without leavening.
You know those Sundays when you crave something delicious but don’t have the time or patience to wait for hours? Well, the water and flour calzones with ham were born just like that, from an impromptu lunch turned into an aperitif with friends.
The dough is light, without yeast, so no endless waiting. Just mix water and flour, roll out, fill with ham and cheese (I used provolone, but mozzarella or scamorza also work) and cook in a pan or oven. In a few minutes, you have a crunchy appetizer on the outside and cheesy on the inside that everyone loves.
These calzones are perfect for an aperitif, as a salty snack in front of the TV, or to enrich a party buffet. And the best part is you can also prepare them in advance and warm them up when needed: they always stay delicious. I often make them in mini versions too, making them even more delightful and addictive.
They are a simple, economical, and versatile recipe because with the same dough you can create a thousand variations: with salami and ricotta, with spinach and mozzarella, with grilled vegetables, or even in a sweet version with hazelnut cream.
In short, the water and flour calzones with ham are the right idea if you want to impress without stress: crunchy, tasty, fast, and perfect for any occasion, from lunch to dinner, from appetizer to aperitif with friends.
