Helpful cooking tips

• For even easier sealing, brush the edges of the dough with a little water before pressing them together to create a better seal.

Creative twists

Try adding veggies to your filling! Spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or even a bit of artichoke can give your calzones a fresh twist. You can also switch the protein; leftover turkey or even a vegetarian option with mushrooms and zucchini would work beautifully. Want to go a bit wild? Consider sprinkling in some pesto or BBQ sauce for a completely different flavor profile.

FAQs

How long does it take to prepare these calzones?

From start to finish, you can expect the recipe to take about 25-30 minutes. Quick enough for a weeknight meal!

Can I use homemade Alfredo sauce instead?
