Calzone's

in Baking
I made my first calzone on the egg 450 at 10 to 12 min is what the recipe said they took about 20 min before they were nice and crispy.  We ordered some 00 flour Antimo Caputo 00 Pizzeria flour. Its crazy how much easier the flour is to work out to build a pizza or calzone on. We made 4 Calzones 2 with crust rolled out really thin and then 2 with a thicker crust.  I think we just missed it to be perfect just somewhere in the middle.

    I have yet to master these. I was set to make some a few weeks ago and chickened out. Went with pizza instead.

    It looks great brother. It looks a lot like what I call Stromboli.  @Eggcelsior explained the difference between the two but I don't remember what it was. They are great whatever they are called. Nice job.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    After your comment I decided to have a look at the difference. They are similar seems the two big differences is a calzone is kinda formed by pinching the edges together somehow and a Stromboli is more like a pizza rolled up. Calzone isnt suppose to have sauce on the inside mine did and served with it on top or on the side Stromboli has sauce inside.

    The terms calzone and Stromboli have gotten mashed together so that many people will use the terms interchangeably.  I think of a calzone as a pizza that has been folded over and closed up.  A Stromboli is more like an Italian sub that has been rolled and then baked. Stromboli used to be made with bread dough, not pizza dough. I doubt if any one today still uses separate dough for calzones and Strombolis.  

    Even though I make a distinction when I make them, many people do not.  I now think of calzone/Stromboli as one word when I hear others use either term.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    Those look delicious!!! I need to try these next, now that my pizza worked! I make Stromboli in the oven occasional.  Guess I should try that too.
