Homemade Calzones

calzone

I love pizza, so anything that closely tastes or resembles it is HIGH on my list!  This is really easy to make and tastes great.  This freezes well too. I always make a few extra to freeze. When we’re ready for them, I just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time below. (No need to thaw.)

*Scroll down to use print recipe feature and add to your Recipe Box.

You can put anything in this. Think of using the same type of items that you would use as toppings on a pizza.  My favorites are salami, pepperoni, and ham.

1.  Prepare pizza dough.  Cut into four even pieces. Put first piece between two pieces of plastic wrap and roll out until about 1/4 inch thick.

*Tip:  Be sure not to fill too full, you need to be able to fold the top piece of dough over to close up all the contents.

4.  Place on cookie sheet.  Be sure to use one without holes, the grease from my meat leaked out onto my oven floor!  Guess what I get to do today?  Clean my oven, urgh…

5.  Repeat this process with other 3 pieces of dough.

6.  Cook for about 15-20 minutes in a 425 degree oven.

    If you do not thaw a frozen one before you cook what are the cooking recommendations? I didn’t think they would be the same. Also do you freeze on a sheet pan and then place in a freezer container/bag? Thanks, I really love your site. Great to have someone locally who knows what is going on in Middle Tennessee.

    Making them this week for food swap. If you want to freeze them, dust with flour, out in wax paper on a cookie sheet in freezer then transfer to a freezer bag. I brush with egg before cooking for a shine!
