To make this mouth-watering dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

- 1/4 cup of warm water
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 1/4 cup of sliced pears
- 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon of honey
To start, mix the flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Roll out the dough into a circle and place it on a baking sheet. Spread the Gorgonzola cheese, sliced pears, and chopped walnuts on one half of the dough. Drizzle honey over the top. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal.
Bake the calzone for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
