The Calzone

What I love about the calzone is we can fill them with whatever we want. Here I made one with tomato sauce, mozzarella and pecorino. The other is Taleggio cheese which is a wonderful creamy Italian cheese, once it melts.

Directions:

1. Start by pre heating your oven to 450 degrees.
2. Bake on a heated pizza stone or on a parchment paper lined baking sheet
   
3. Roll your dough thin into 6″-7″ pizzas. On one half of the dough put your filling
   
4. Using a little cold water on your fingers lightly wet the edges of the dough, fold the dough, pinch and seal the edges.
   
5. Brush a little olive oil on the calzone and put a couple slices in the dough.
   
6. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the calzone and place them into the oven.
   
7. After 15 minutes rotate and let them continue to bake 10-15 min or till done.
   
8. Remove and let cool a few minutes before enjoying them.

You can make the dough or buy a store bought pizza dough, either way you’ll love these calzones.
