To try something a little different from pizza, we made calzones the other day. The pizza dough recipe I usually follow makes 2 pizzas. We made pizza one night and with the second half of the dough, we made calzones. Calzones have a little longer baking time than pizza, but it tastes equally good ... just follow the following easy steps.
1. Roll the dough out, just like you would for pizza.
2. Stuff 1/2 side of the rolled out dough with cheese at the bottom, then veggies followed by a few tbsp of sauce. Remember to leave a one inch diameter. Brush the outside diameter with water (or egg wash) so that when you fold it over, the sides will stick together.
3. Fold the unstuffed side on top of the stuffed side. Pinch seams down and prick with fork.
4. Brush top of calzone with olive oil.
5. Using a knife, cut a few lines on top of the calzone to allow excess steam to exit.
6. Dust a baking sheet generously with cornmeal. Place calzones on baking sheet.
7. Bake at 450 degrees for 25 minutes.
The calzones turned out great. We will definitely make this again.
