Tonight I decided to take a crack at making calzones again (for the 2nd time this year). The first time I made them, I overstuffed them...BIG TIME! I made spinach and cheese calzones and used a recipe that was supposed to make 4 calzones, but I thought I'd squeeze the filling into only 2 instead...big mistake! It was way too much filling proportionate to the crust and they looked like they wanted to explode. They were tasty, just out of proportion.
So tonight, I decided to keep it simple...real simple. I got a ball of Publix fresh pizza dough and decided to make one large calzone for hubby and I to share. I stretched out the dough, stuffed it with turkey pepperoni, sliced & seeded fresh Campari tomatoes (that I picked up this weekend) along with shredded mozzarella cheese. I sprinkled it with a dash of Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes before folding it over. I must say it turned out SO much better this time! I served it with a side of our favorite Dei Fratelli pizza sauce for dipping. It was such a big calzone that hubby and I shared only half of it and we still have the other half to eat tomorrow. I must admit, this calzone turned out
much better than the overstuffed calzones I made the first time around. Below are a few pics. Enjoy!
