Calzone - top tips

[mudsticks]

So I usually craft a couple of pizzas from scratch for the farm crew on our Friday Pizza and film night.

One vegan, one often a bit fishy.

This week I thought I'd try something a bit different.

Calzone are basically folded over pizza - Cornish pasty style.

Any tips or tricks, for ideal dough thickness, or fantastic fillings??

You serve fishy pizzas at your plaice?

All I know is that if the ingredients are healthy and sourced from within 10 miles of your farm, you'll be in the local low cal calzone zone.

Apologies for the bad joke... this promises to be an interesting thread!

Dohh

You guessed it - right away - this is merely a fishy vehicle for taking the piscine out of pizza puns..

No actually, I've never made calzone, but I'm sure someone here has..

BBC food is usually pretty good for recipes, we tried this last summer and it came out really well.

Can't go far wrong with pepperoni, cheese and an arrabiata sauce

I last had one a couple of years ago. Crust not too thick, bit of a crunch with a pepperoni, cheese and tomato based sauce. I really cant see why you couldn't get really creative with it.

Only ever tried them on 2 occasions but found them doughy/soggy.
I know that is of no help at all

A diet pizza is called Low Calzone

Just fill it with artichokes and olives, veggie pizza needs nothing else (other than cheese and tomato)

I believe you missed out the onion.
