Have you ever eaten calzone? If you like pizza, you will definitely love this famous Italian dish. Calzones are a delicious way to enjoy everything you love about pizza: a delicious crust, delicious toppings, and bold flavors in one portable snack.
The word “calzone” comes from the Italian word meaning “socks” or “tights”. It’s made from pizza dough folded in half and filled with delicious toppings. Calzone originated in Naples, Italy and has since spread throughout the world. Calzones are perfect for a quick lunch, on-the-go snack, or even as a side dish to your favorite pizza!
Making Calzone is quite simple and if you master how to make pizza at home, you can easily become an expert at making Calzone. The first step is to start with delicious pizza dough. Making your own pizza dough at home is a fun way to experiment in the kitchen. The secret is to knead the pizza dough until it is completely smooth and holds its shape without sagging. Once you have a good dough, you’re ready to start shaping your Calzone rolls.
The first step is similar to making a pizza. Roll the dough into a round and flat shape to form the base. Once you have a flat, round plate, you can decorate it with the ingredients of your choice.
Leave a little space around the outside edge so you can seal your calzone. Also, make sure you don’t add so much that it can’t be closed – even if a Calzone is supposed to be stuffed, it all still needs to stay together!
Finally, gently fold the dough in half. Be careful not to let air get inside. You can assemble the calzone by putting a little water on the dough and sandwiching the two sides together. Gently tapping the edges with a wooden spoon or similar object can help seal well.
Before putting the Calzone roll in the oven, use a knife to pierce the top several times. This allows excess steam to escape so your calzone maintains its shape.
Bake your calzones in the oven until golden brown. No need to flip, you can rotate to cook evenly on all sides. Remove it from the oven and voila – delicious baked rolls stuffed with delicious toppings!
In Italy, calzones are a light lunch or snack. The best calzones use fresh, simple ingredients. Unlike pizza, which can be topped with all sorts of delicious toppings, muffins are best when filled with carefully selected toppings.
The secret to creating the perfect roll is to use high-quality ingredients that work well together. CourtHousePizza and Subs offers three delicious pies on our menu to suit all tastes.
