This weekend I did my first try at homemade calzones. With just a little help from frozen yeast rolls. I still need to work on the final look of the calzone but the taste is amazing.
Here is how I made them
- bag of frozen yeast roll dough
- 1 jar of pizza sauce
- shredded cheese
- meat and or veggies of your choice.
- oil. I used Pompeian OlivExtra Premium Canola Oil, Extra virgin olive oil and grapeseed oil combination that I was asked to try.
Place your frozen yeast rolls dough on a baking sheet and cover with either a towel or wax paper. I grease the sheet pan and also the wax paper that used to cover it. Let them rise until the dough balls are double. This takes about 4-5 hours. Follow directions on bag
When the rolls have risen. Take each roll and flatten out. Work with one at a time. When you get it flattened out, spread the pizza sauce, cheese and filling on one side. Don’t go all the way to the ends.
Take the dough and fold over the top of the side that has the filling on it. Take a fork and go around it and seal the calzone. Take the oil and brush the tops to give it a crispy brown look when cooked.
Place on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Until golden brown.
As you can see, I need to work on how to make them look more like a calzone but I promise the look didn’t hinder the taste. They were excellent. This is definitely a repeat.
I loved the taste of this Pompeian OlivExtra. I can’t wait to try it with sauté. It says it is ideal for that.
This would be great for a football party and also freezer cooking.
