I have confessed our pizza addiction previously when I shared my easy homemade pizza dough recipe. Remember? I told you how the pizza delivery guy knows the way to our house blindfolded.
Yes, we eat pizza a lot, but on this evening, I wanted to try something a little different and allowed each child to stuff a round of dough with their choice of ingredients.
I have never made calzones before. Not exactly. So, I attempted this much they way I would make a pizza by preheating the oven and the stone to scorching hot before putting the calzone on. I think next time, I might try to bake them a little slower.
While our Pizza Calzones might not be gorgeous. They were delicious and fun!
Easy Pizza Calzones
Ingredients
- 1/2 batch Easy Pizza Dough
- Your choice of stuffings: pizza sauce pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, etc.
- Water for sealing
- Olive Oil for brushing top
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Place pizza stone in the oven. Preheat oven and the stone to 500 degrees.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into circles, about 6 inches in diameter. Place each round on a separate piece of parchment paper.
- Place your choice of ingredients on one half the dough, leaving about 1/4 inch on the rim of the circle clean for the seal.
- Brush water lightly around the edge and fold over, crimping with a fork to seal.
- Then, lightly brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Lift the calzone using the parchment paper and place (paper and all) directly on the pizza stone.
- Cook time will vary based on the amount of stuffing ingredients but check each calzone beginning at 5 minutes.
