Fixin to try a Calzone

Scooby

Well I was gonna try the sausage roll, but decide to try a calzone. Made dough from scratch, and now got sausage, sauce, pepperoni, and cheese stretched into it. Any ideas how hot, or how long? Got a LBGE. Thanks ...-Joshua

Pizza, Calzone, Sprinter

This is a great calzone. There are a myriad of fillings that can be used but this is one of the favorites of my family.


Ingredients
1 Tbs olive oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tsp chopped fresh sage - if you use dried, use 3/4 teaspoon
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 recipe of the calzone/pizza dough
1 lb italian sausage
1 cup ricotta cheese - this is important as it acts as a binder for the filling
1 large egg
1 cup cubed or shreaded mozzarella cheese



Preparation Directions:
1 heat the oil in a skillet and brown the sausage - set aside
2 in the same pan, saute onion and pepper for 5 minutes
3 press the dough out into a 12 inch circle, dough recipe makes 2
4 combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl, add veggies and meat
5 mix well
6 place ½ of the filling on ½ of the calzone, fold dough over to make a half circle, seal the edges well
7 repeat for the other calzone
8 using a fork, make several holes in the calzone
Cooking Directions:
1 preheat the egg, using an indirect setup, to 450 to 500 degree dome temperature
2 place calzone on the pizza stone and cook until golden brown, usually 15-20 minutes
3 watch through the chimney for doneness
Special Instructions:
1 be sure not to allow any of the calzone to hang over the edge of the stone as the crust will burn at these high temperatures
