Calzone Pizza || Calzone Recipe || How to Make Calzone Pizza with step-by-step photos
Calzone is
a cheesy, flaky brown crust relish recipe is a turnover of pizza dough stuffed
with various fillings and cheese fried or baked originated in Naples this is
actually Italian food
This recipe is made
with ingredients that are like a pizza, but they are not the same it is folded into
a crescent shape before it is baked, Honestly speaking I tried this recipe the first time but
trust me this first attempt has been successful, here I prepared mince filling
with white sauce for stuffing in the calzone
You can prepare desirable fillings such
as vegetables, chicken, or even beef mutton additionally, I used red chili powder
to make my calzone spicy, whereas Italian pizza doesn’t require red
pepper, they use paprika powder instead of red chili powder but as I mentioned above I
wanted spicy calzone so I did you can use to taste
I have already shared homemade pizza
dough and pizza
sauce recipes in my previous post. As well as you can also check out mince

Tips for making Perfect Calzones:
- The part of this calzone recipe that requires the most skill is making the dough. Our homemade Pizza Dough recipe is our tried and true method and has all the instructions you need to break down making pizza dough at home.
- Fully sauté mince before filling. Make sure to sauté your mince before filling the calzone. Sautéing the mince releases most of its liquid, so you won’t wind up with a soggy calzone.
- Don’t overstuff it! When filling a calzone pizza, put in less cheese and mince filling than you think you’ll need. An overstuffed calzone will start oozing in the oven and the crust will get soggy. Overfilling it will also make it tougher to crimp the edges of the calzone closed and will make the whole process incredibly messy (it’d still be delicious though!
