Perfect Homemade Cheesy Calzones (2 Methods)

So let's be real here, a calzone (calsoNEH) is basically just a pizza that's been stuffed and folded over, but incredibly delicious if done the correct way. In my humble opinion, the best version of a calzone and how to make it is a little char, nice and puffy, big air pockets, and sauce on top AFTER it's baked.

[@mbcrecords2356]

actually there are some sidenotes, dont use warm water. This will result the dough from rising to quick what will result in a loss of flavor. Also its conmplete bullshit to kneed the dough for only 2 minutes, this will make the dough less easy to digest.

[@pierpaolorusso5733]

As an italian, I've to say that I speak english exactly like you did. 10 mammamia points for you

[@GetMeAReubenSandwich]

My standard filling for calzones has always included a mix of seasoned ricotta (ricotta, egg, garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano etc.) Mozzarella, a little Parmesan and any pre-cooked meats/veggies you want, (pre-cooked to reduce moisture.) And, one should always score/slash the top to vent steam. Internal empty space in your calzone is a bad thing. I never use sauce inside either, only as a side or accompaniment. Trapping steam inside leads to a soggy calzone. What you have made here, in my opinion, is an Italian-style hot pocket. Looks good though...

[@jennycook9923]

What he has made is a Stromboli. To be a Calozone means it contains ricotta & no sauce.
