Usually Frank's the baker around here, but I decided to try to make calzones by myself.
He had made them once when I was out of town, and offered me useful tips like:
don't fill them too full and don't make them too drippy.
I made the dough and let it rise while we went to see Catching Fire.
After the movie, I assembled them with ricotta, italian sausage, spinach,
and after I took the picture I sprinkled some grated mozarella on top.
Fold over, brush with olive oil and let sit while the oven preheats a second time
because someone (me?) accidentally turned it off.
Bake at 450° for 25 minutes.
Let cool a bit and slice.
Served with marinara sauce on the side.
They were good.
I love calzones! Yours look yummy. :)

ReplyDeleteThere is a calzone place down the hill from us and yours look as good as Pete's. That is high praise.
Yum!
