We made two types of calzones:
Greek-veggie with homemade arrabiata sauce. Inside was Greek olives, roasted red peppers, red onions, fontina, feta, and mozzarella cheeses.
Italian meat with homemade creamy garlic sauce. Inside was prosciutto, salami, and calabrese with red onions and a mixture of fontina and mozzarella cheeses.
We unfortunately do not have an Italian deli in my town, so I had to resort to the store bought pre-packaged stuff (god I miss New York). I realize that I could have stuffed the meat one with more and yes…I need to buy a better bread knife because the cross section cuts are pretty rough too.
But overall, flavor was very on point. We just need to refine our technique.

20 pics?! Anyway I could get 20 more?
Looks delicious.. NY delis are the best .. definitely going to miss them when I move to Maine.. egg sandwiches, awesome heros .. I might just get one for lunch
That looks lovely!! I think the only thing I’d maybe add is a butter or egg wash with seasonings but that’s really up to you!
Looks delicious! If you were interested in going for a more airy crust next time, skip the rolling pin and stretch it entirely by hand.

These look disgusting. I will get rid of them for you and you can try again. 🙄 cough cough
This looks more expensive than just buying a calzone
Spread butter and sprinkle some extra cheese on the outside to keep it a bit more moist.
This is a no go. Onions are yucky
looks really good, would smash the italian
i’m of the opinion that to minimize mushy texture in the filling and inner wall of the dough and prevent that half-steamed onion flavor, the veg should be cooked before it goes in and there should be no sauce inside
Looks fantastic!! Excellent job
Ummmm… yum!
Costanza approved
Welcome to the low-cal calzone zone.
The whole create a 15+ picture album for your food post is getting out of hand lmao half these pics are so pointless, literally posted a picture of a bag of flour and a can of tomato paste lol
Try not to use a rolling pin to roll out the dough;)
The last pic, gimme that!!! 🤩🧀🍖
Never seen a calzone with the sauce inside. Did you use any tomato product besides paste?
Calzone is my nemesis and you have nailed it.
They look great and tasty. I make calzones at home sometimes. I cheat and use Publix pizza dough.
My only critique is I think with the sauce inside it becomes a Stromboli not a calzone?
PLEASE PLEASE dont tell me you used a rolling pin to form ur pizzas
I’d eat that!
