Calzones for Dinner

Decided to try something new. Used Bridgeford frozen bread dough for the crust -- quick and easy. Stuffed with spicy pepperoni, mushrooms, pizza sauce, olives, garlic, oregano, and a little motza. Cooked at 500 for about 18 minutes, with extra smoke. Took off, cut in half (fits the plate better), covered with more sauce and topped with extra motza. Excellent! Note: Wife uses an olive to mark her side of the pizza - or in this case, her calzone.

    I just finished dinner about 10 minutes ago and now I'm starvin' again!

    Those look great. I will definitely give them a try. So nice and browned on the outside.

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    That has to be the wife's patented "rolled cheese crust" around the edge of yours. Looks GREAT!!

    I attempted my first "all whole wheat" dough last night. Used the recipe you sent for overnight method as a base, and adjusted for whole wheat. I’ll try as pizza crust first with one of the three balls dough. If it works, I will definitely try to use for calzone tonight!

    I have to work on that dough recipe some more.... Did not get a rise in the dough. The flavor was fine. Wife liked the crust better since it was super thin. Ate pizza last night and had "left over" calzone for lunch today. Beat my normal can of soup by a mile, but still needs some work.

    I flipped the calzone after about 8 minutes and cooked another 4-5 minutes all at around 500 degrees. Seemed to come out nicely cooked. Crust was nice and crisp on the outside. Used some EVOO on pan and used stone under pan. Did you flip yours? Yours sure looked nice when done. Also, how do you close your edges? I tried a fork like you would a pie top. It only opened in one small spot and oozed a little cheese out. Considering I had pepperoni (greasy, but good!) and around 6oz of cheese inside, I don't guess that's too bad.
