Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, brush the calzones with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
  • To make sure the calzones are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the calzones are done by carefully piercing the center with a knife. If the juices run clear, the calzones are cooked.
  • Serve the calzones immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing.
  • For a fun twist, try making your own dipping sauce. There are many recipes available online.
  • Reuben calzones can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.
