The Versatile Calzone image

Meal in a pizza crust. I love to make a huge batch of these with 3-4 different fillings, freeze them, and pack a few in the husband's lunch. The pizza crust is one my mom has used for years, and the fillings come from playing around with my favorite things to eat.

Time 1h

Yield 12 calzones

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 cups warm water
4 cups wheat flour
2 tablespoons yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oil
4 cups white flour
1 chicken breast, sliced and sauteed
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 lb beef, for stewing
2 tablespoons brown gravy mix
1 bay leaf
1 bunch asparagus
1/4 lb brie cheese
1 lb briskets
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 chicken breast
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup mushroom, sliced, roasted

Steps:

  • Dough: Mix together water, yeast, 4 cups wheat flour, salt, and oil.
  • Add white flour until you have a dough that follows the spoons around the bowl but still sticks to the sides of the bowl. Let dough rise to double (about an hour), punch down, and shape. I don't let mine rise again once I've shaped it, but it does some rising of its own as it cooks.
  • Fillings: Ooooh, just have fun!
  • Depending on the filling, top calzones for the last 5 minutes of baking with: egg wash, honey glaze, extra cheese.
  • Also, make extra liquid parts when you make the fillings and freeze along with the calzones for a dipping sauce.
  • Be sure to wrap with a paper towel when reheating in the microwave.
  • (reheating in toaster oven is preferable.).
  • Cook calzones at 300°F for 30 minutes.
  • These can be frozen before or after cooking. When cooking a raw, frozen calzone, cook for 50 minutes at 300°F.

This calzone was so easy to make and it turned out great! I used a store-bought dough to save time and it still came out delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I had some cooked chicken and veggies in the fridge and I just threw them in the calzone. It was so easy and delicious.
