Calzone

Calzone

Cooking 15 min @ 575 dome

Pictured is the dough from for Calzone with the filling added and now its ready to fold the top over it.
Filling: Cooked/drained sausage, onions, green peppers, sauce and cheese.
I combined the onions, peppers and sausage and sautéed them together first.

 

Here is a golden brown Calzone after 15 min at 575. I need to work on getting a thinner top crust and a thicker bottom.
Also, remember to poke some holes in the top so it doesn't "pop" like #1 did to me. Sauce squirts out on my pizza stone.

That's my home made pizza peel - its a masonite board (1/4") - works great!

 

This was good!! I am glad I precooked the filling and I recommend it if you have a lot of complex stuff in there. I did #1 tonight for my son which had only cheese, sauce and pepperoni. He loved it.

As you can see, the top crust is too thick. I will thin it our more next time.

 

 

I didn't take a picture of the Calzone in the Egg - but this is close. I am doing french bread in this picture but you can see the Plate Setter and a BGE pizza stone on top of it. This combo works perfectly and you almost can't burn the bottom with it!!
