Whole Wheat: You can add 1-2 cups whole wheat or spelt flour to replace the same amount of white flour for a whole grain calzone. Bake in a 400-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cover calzones and allow to rise 30 minutes or so. Repeat with remaining dough.įinishing /Baking: Place calzones on greased baking sheets. Cut a couple of slits in top of calzone to allow steam to vent. Fold over and press edges firmly to seal. Add fillings to half of the dough and wet edges with water. Roll out a piece of dough into an 8-inch circle. Punch dough down.Īssembly: Divide into 8 or more pieces. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Allow dough to rest 3 minutes and knead a few more times. Place dough on floured surface and knead until stretchy and smooth, about 10 minutes. Gradually add more flour until soft dough forms. Add the warm water and stir together, mixing well. In mixing bowl combine yeast with 3 cups of flour, sugar and the salt. This recipe is enough for 8 large calzones, more if you make them smaller. I use one of three recipes for dough, listed below, then swap out fillings depending on what I am in the mood for. I like to make a batch and freeze some of them. They are also great food to serve at parties. I think about what ingredients would go well together.Ĭalzones are wonderfully portable, and great to pack for lunch. I like to get creative when making calzones. They are kind of a cross between a sandwich and a pizza. These are fantastic served with Marinara Sauce for dipping.Calzones are traditionally made with Italian/pizza type fillings, but you can fill them with all sorts of other ingredients. Let them cool for a few minutes! Yes, I know you want to eat them now, but they are HOT! I speak from experience when I say they will burn your mouth if you chow down too quickly….hahaha. They will be cooked when the dough is lightly golden and the inside is bubbly with the cheese melted.Ĭalzones Hot Out Of The Oven and Ready To Enjoy Bake for about 20 minutes, they could be done a little quicker so be sure to check on them.Brush the tops with the garlic butter, this will add extra flavour as well as give them a golden touch.Place the Calzones on your baking tray, use two trays if you need to.Pierce a few hole in the top with a sharp knife for the fork. Press the sides firmly together, then fold them over inwards like shown below.The dough will not be too thick so just be careful. Fold and seal, gently fold over the Calzones careful not to rip your dough.I did it here in the middle but had to move it to the side to make for easy folding. Add the oregano, cheese and pepperoni, It’s best to put it on one side of circle.Be sure to leave about 1 inch around the edge for folding over. Add Marinara Sauce to the middles and spread it out, I used a few tablespoons for each one.If you need to, add a little flour to the tops as you roll them out.
Roll out the dough balls into 6 inch circles, do this on a floured surface so they don’t stick.Divide the dough into 8 equal parts, I usually use a sharp knife and divide it in half and then continue cutting until I have 8 dough balls.Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C, always get the oven going first so it’s ready when you are ready to cook your calzones.
