Calzones

September 19, 2010

Calzones are pizza’s well packed cousin. Everything fits nicely into the crusty pocket. Once you break into time you watch the lovely, melted cheese coming flowing out. You can just have a cheese calzone but it’s like cheese pizza- very lonely. So along with the cheese you can add in pepperoni, mushrooms, ham, jalapeños, olives, sausage…. the possibility are endless.

Personally, I love them because you dip pieces into tomato sauce. And since I LOVE ketchup I think this act of dipping into another tomato medium is pretty damn awesome. Because you are dipping into the sauce you want to make sure it stands up again the rest of the calzone. You can use a home made sauce or a jarred sauce. The real key is to get something thin so it evenly coats the calzones, instead of a chunky sauce.

I go as far as to add a tiny bit of sauce in my calzone. I know, so crazy! I

The same goes for the dough… both store bought or home made works perfectly. If you are pressed for time just get store bought. I think that the key thingwhen you are using store bought it so let it sit out and get warm. Messing with chilly dough just results in holes since the dough has not loosened up yet. That goes for homemade as well, but I think it’s even worse with store bought.


Calzones

pizza dough (store bought or home made)
tomato sauce
mozzarella cheese
optional add ins: (turkey) pepperoni, canned or cooked mushrooms, ham, bacon, olives, endless possibilites
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Divide dough into even sides portions. Stretch out dough into rectangular or circular shapes.
Add in the filling you desire leaving enough room at the edges to pinch together to seal calzone.
Cook for 20+ minutes*
Let cool so the middle is not boiling lava hot and enjoy with tomato sauce.
*Cooking time depends on the size of calzone and your oven.
