How To Make Calzones • Scale and measure all ingredients according to recipe. • Mix ingredients and refrigerate until ready for use. • Portion the filling with #8 scoop. • Work with fresh dough in manageable batches – • Place portioned filling to one side of center line. • Fold dough over filling so that the edges meet.
Braiding The Dough: • Grab the dough between your fingers. • Pull the dough up and out. • Fold dough over itself and pinch closed. • * Be sure to pinch the dough closed. This will prevent the filling from seeping out of the sides during the baking process.
Final Preparation: Completely brush the calzones with egg wash. Make a slit on top to “vent” the steam during baking. This will also prevent the filling from seeping out. Bake to desired doneness. A deep golden brown is preferred. Brush lightly with garlic oil for a great appearance. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or Italian seasoning Serve with Marinara Sauce
