Who made the calzones/had the recipe?

I want to make calzones.. DH hates them so we figured when he makes pizza dough, he can make himself a personal pizza and I'll do a calzone.

Any recipes, suggestions, tips?  I've never made one before... I assume the regular pizza dough works?  Yumm... 

Re: Who made the calzones/had the recipe?

  • I don't have a recipe, but I use store bought pizza dough and just roll it out in a ovalish shape and fill half with whatever... sauce, veggies, cheese, pepperoni. Fold it over, pinch to close and brush some olive oil on top (sometimes I sprinkle on some salt & pepper or italian seasoning too) Cut a few slits to allow the steam to escape. Then bake at 350 for about 30-45 min... depending on the size, until it's golden brown. I always have some extra sauce to dip too.

    I haven't made one in forever, I think it might be on the menu next week!

  • Nicole (battybtags) is the one that posted a recipe before.  I don't have it handy, but I know she uses the dough from Wegmans :) 
  • Like pp said you can do just about anything in a calzone. My favorite was my father's ham and cheese. He would include sliced deli ham, ricotta, mozzarella, sauce and some Italian seasonings. I believe that was it.

    Here is a Rachel Ray  recipe that I like. Sometimes I will add sundried tomatoes or roasted red pepper to give it a little bit of a kick. I am sure that you can also include sauce inside if you want.

    I make my own dough but have used store bought as well.

  • Yep it was me! I use store bought dough and spread it out. Fill half with a ricotta mixture (ricotta, one egg, garlic, parsley, salt/pepper), mozzarella cheese and whatever toppings you like. Then fold it and  pinch it closed. Bake it at 350 until golden brown-which for us never seems to happen! Haha-we bake it about 45min I guess and it never browns for some reason!
