If you’ve never had calzones, they’re like giant folded pizzas, or giant pizza pops. They’re delicious and easy.
Preheat your oven to around 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
You will need:
– 1 premade pizza dough (not precooked – use gluten free if you want!)
– Cheese (use pre-grated if you want, I use my food processor to grate mine – we like mozzarella, but use what you like)
– Pizza sauce
– Whatever toppings you want, like olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, anything your little heart can think of
What you do:
1. Roll the dough out fairly thin. Use some flour if needed to keep it from sticking. You want kind of an oval shape.
2. Spread a very light layer of pizza sauce over the whole thing, leaving about a half inch to an inch border free.
3. Add toppings. I like to do a couple layers of toppings and cheese starting with cheese at the bottom, and ending with cheese on the top for even distribution.
4. Lightly oil a large cookie pan (I cover mine in tinfoil because easy clean-up) or use something like semolina flour if you wanna get fancy, and get that thing on there as best you can. (I suggest spatulas and being as quick as possible.
5. Cook for about 15 minutes, keeping an eye on the bottom to prevent burning.
LET IT COOL FOR A MINUTE BEFORE EATING SO YOU DON’T BURN YOUR FACE OFF.
