SERVES 10–12

DOUGH::

• ½ tbsp. olive oil, plus more for greasing
• ½ tbsp. sugar
• 1 (¼-oz.) packet active dry yeast
• 4 cups "00" flour, preferably Caputo Pizzeria Flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 tbsp. kosher salt
• Fine semolina, for dusting

FILLING:

• 1½ lb. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• ½ cup olive oil
• 1 tsp. granulated garlic
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1½ lb. ground beef
• 1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste
• 1 tsp. dried basil
• ½ tsp. crushed red chile flakes
• ½ tsp. sugar
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated pecorino romano cheese

Make the dough: Make the dough: Combine oil, sugar, yeast, and 1¼ cups water heated to 115° in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook; let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Mix flour and salt in a bowl. With the motor running, slowly add flour mixture; mix until a smooth dough forms, 8–10 minutes. Transfer dough to a greased baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature until doubled in size, 1–1½ hours.

Make the filling: Place a pizza stone in the oven; heat to 500°. Toss potatoes with ¼ cup oil, ½ tsp. granulated garlic, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet and spread into an even layer; bake until tender, 8–10 minutes. Heat remaining oil in a 10" skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add beef, remaining garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking up meat, until browned, 8–10 minutes. Add tomato paste, basil, chile flakes, sugar, salt, pepper, and ½ cup water. Cook until sauce is slightly thick, 5–7 minutes; set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into an 18" x 20" rectangle about ⅛" thick. Slide a large semolina-dusted pizza peel under half of rectangle lengthwise. Spread half each of the mozzarella and pecorino over the dough on peel, leaving a 1" border. Lay potato slices over cheeses, overlapping, and spoon meat sauce over the top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Fold other half dough up and over filling; press edges to seal and working from one end to the other, roll and crimp edges. Cut two slits in the top of the calzone and slide onto stone; bake until crust is puffed and charred in spots, 30–35 minutes.
