Made in the traditional Tuscan style of late 19th century rural Italian villages. Filled with ricotta, mozzarella, prosciutto, sliced sausage and spinach, with a large crust folded over the top of the filling… rather like a cross between a calzone and a pizza.

Take a double batch of crust and push it out to about one and a half times the size of your pizza pan. Fill with the toppings in the traditional way, spreading the ricotta around and then topping with the other fillings. Once topped, fold the extra crust back over the filled pie. It should reach about half way back in toward the center. Bake in a pre-heated, 500 degree oven on a pre-heated pizza stone until the crust is golden brown all over.
