Calzones

Dyal_SC

Haven’t made these in forever. On the BGE pizza stone at 500 deg F for about 10 minutes for each batch of 2. I think I actually made mine too cheesy, if that’s a thing?

Beautiful! I need this. Preheat stone and indirect at 500°? High in the dome I assume?

It's impossible to make something that needs cheese, "too cheesy." As a friend of mine liked to say, "Too much is almost enough."

Looks great. My attempts at calzones in the Ooni were either 1) too dry internally or 2) too saucey lol…..need to find the right ratio

Nice Craig. Wishing you and your family the best of Hollidays.

Yup @Eggdicted_Dawgfan , although at 500 I don’t feel the need personally to get it too high. The egg wash will brown it up regardless. 

@ColbyLang , I like putting the sauce on the side. Copious amounts of ricotta, mozz, and toppings of your choice inside. Seems to hold together well.

A true winner right there.  Great finish.  Those are serious beer consumption quality calzones, right there. 🍺

sauce is served on the side,  not in the calzone. side of maranara, and a side of ranch for dipping. one less thing to worry about for the cook

That looks good, but next time, heat up some good marinara sauce and pour it all over the top ... that's the only way I'll eat a Calzone!

Looks great, thank you for the inspiration I need to get some onto my Egg. Mottz, ricotta and some ham for mine. Sauce on the side for those who 'need' it, never served that way by the Italians where I grew up. 

Has anyone ventured down the Stromboli road? My only attempt was mediocre at best. I need to get my dough thinner before rolling.

Lastly, there is a special place in hell for anyone who puts "ranch" on pizza bones.

@Mark_B_Good , if you look in the first pic, you’ll notice some Yo Momma’s Roasted Garlic Marinara that I did just that with.

Those look great!

Looks great. And, no such thing as too cheesy when it comes to calzone.

Nice!!! That's the perfect way to do it. Heat up that sauce and pour it all over!

Nice!  And thanks. Parchment paper to transfer them on the stone.  You can trim the paper around them so the paper doesn’t burn. Other than that, all just depends on your preference of ingredients. Also the egg wash makes the top just right IMO. Gives you that nice shiny crisp.  Don’t forget to cut some slits in the top and crimp the seam tight. Pinch, tuck and crimp with fork.
