Cooking Tips

  • You can use store-bought pizza dough or make your own from scratch.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients like mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers to the filling.
  • Make sure to seal the edges of the calzone well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover calzone can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the calzone in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
