  1. I was born and raised a New Yorker and miss a good calzone. After joining the Marine Corps in 1972, I traveled to many states and discovered it would be very difficult to order many foods I thought were served everywhere! On the flip side I discovered many foods I didn't know existed. As for this calzone recipe; I have had this version in a variety of places, yet not what I know as a calzone. You need equal amounts of Ricotta & Mozzarella. Traditional parsley, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper seasoning to your taste. Pizza dough is rolled out as though making a pizza. Ingredients are spread out on one half while the other half is pulled over to form a half moon and crimped around the edges to secure filling inside. The number one question I was asked was sauce inside or out? Some folks like to dip their calzone in sauce while others want it spread out inside and baked with the entire calzone. A Calzone, just like pizza can have any meats or vegetables or favorite cheeses stuffed inside. Although this is a good, easy recipe, I must have mine the NY traditional way with ricotta.
     
  2. We loved these!! For the filling we just used the standard pepperoni & mozzarella cheese since that's all I had on hand. But the parmesan, parsley & garlic powder topping makes it awesome! They browned up very nicely and looked restaurant quality. I used dough from an Italian market that makes it fresh every day. Yum! Thanks for posting.
     
  3. These were great! I made my own dough and rather than mix the toppings together, I spread the sauce on and then placed various toppings on. I pricked them all over with a fork to prevent bubbling. Served with extra sauce on the side for dipping. I think the next time I shall make them a bit smaller by cutting the dough into 6 pieces rather than 4. Thanks for the recipe. Made for Spring PAC 2013.
