Rustic Buckwheat Calzone with Ham

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Buckwheat flour gives this dough an earthy, nutty depth that pairs perfectly with smoked ham. Although buckwheat is gluten-free, we mix it with wheat flour here to ensure the dough remains pliable and airy while keeping its rustic character. A nod to Northern Italy's love for this ancient grain.

  • Baking Sheet
  • Fork (for sealing)

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat
⚠️ Egg
⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix flours, salt, and yeast. Add water and oil; knead.

Tip: Buckwheat absorbs water slowly. If sticky, wait 5 minutes before adding more flour.
2 ✓

Cover and rise for 60 minutes. It won't rise as high as white dough due to less gluten.

Tip: Expect 1.5x volume, not double.
3 ✓

Mix garlic and oregano into the tomato sauce.

Tip: Cold sauce prevents sogginess.
4 ✓

Divide dough into 4, roll out. Fill with sauce, ham, and cheese. Fold and seal.

Tip: Handle gently; buckwheat dough is fragile.
5 ✓

Brush with egg, poke vents, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.

Tip: Buckwheat is dark, so check texture (should sound hollow/crisp) to know it's done.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the dough tear?
Buckwheat lacks gluten, making the structure weaker. Don't roll it too thin!
What ham to use?
Prosciutto Cotto or Black Forest Ham works best with the nutty buckwheat flavor.
