I absolutely love this recipe! I got it from another on-line site long ago and have adapted it to my tastes. It is a "real Italian" calzone because there is no tomato sauce inside of it. I serve it with warmed tomato/marinara sauce to dip or pour over top!
Feel free to change the filling to suit your own tastes! This makes a massive amount of calzone but it freezes well. I usually bake only 1 calzone (which will serve about 4 people) and freeze the other.
While dough is rising combine all remaining ingredients except for the egg in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate to chill.
04Preheat the oven to 375°F.
05When the dough is ready, punch it down and separate it into two equal parts. Roll the halves individually out into thin circles on a lightly floured surface.
06Fill one half of each circle with half of the filling mixture and fold over. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
07Brush the top of each calzone with the egg wash and place on a greased cookie sheet.
08Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.
