Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon dry milk powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup pizza sauce
- 4 ounces pepperoni, sausage, or any pizza topping of your choice
- 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Place water, salt, bread flour, dry milk, sugar, and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select Dough cycle.
- After cycle ends, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface; shape into a 16 x 10 inch rectangle. Transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet. In a small bowl, mix together chopped pepperoni and mozzarella. Spoon pizza sauce in a stripe down the center of dough lengthwise; add sausage and cheese filling. Make diagonal cuts 1 1/2 inches apart down each side, cutting within a 1/2 inch of the filling. Criss cross strips over filling, sealing with water. Brush top with melted butter.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes.

I mean pizza, lots of bread, yummy! I love that your recipe only calls for mozzarella. I’m not a ricotta fan.
I like ricotta, but a thin layer. In my humble opinion, it doesn’t belong anywhere near a pizza in my home. LOL. Happy Easter!
Mmmm you had me at calzone! Pinned! Thanks for sharing at Friday Frenzy!
You are welcome Kelly. I am glad you are a fan of calzones. Enjoy your week!
I *love* calzones! These look delicious! Thanks for sharing with Party in Your PJs

There is nothing better than homemade pizza and calzones! Love making fresh dough!

I am glad you like it Amy. Enjoy your week!
We love Calzone Marilyn and being married to an Italian that might be a given. Thanks for sharing the recipe at #BloggersPitStop and have a great week. I’ve pinned to make later.
I hope you enjoy this one Sue! Enjoy your week.
These look fantastic, I’m going to have to give them a try in our home! Thanks for sharing on To Grandma’s House We Go!

We love Calzones and your recipe looks awesome! Hope you are having a great weekend and thanks so much for sharing your great post with us at Full Plate Thursday!
Miz Helen
Thank you for the thumbs up. Enjoy your week!
My hubby is going to love this one Marilyn. Oh my word it looks so delicious. We don’t have a bread maker, will kneading the dough by hand be okay?
No problem bypassing the breadmaker. Kneading it is actually faster anyway. And to be honest, I often cheat and use prepared dough from the dairy section. Enjoy! Have a great week.
I can just imagine how delicious these Homemade Pizza Calzones taste, Marilyn. Love that the dough is made from scratch as well. Thank you so much for sharing, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party.
Thank you April for the warm words. I appreciate you and your party. You make blogging worthwhile!! Have a great week.
Very yummy! I have never tried making a calzone. Hubby would love this! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
It is easy. Pizza toppings rolled up in a pie crust. Enjoy!
I am going to try this because it sounds and looks delicious #ghought”full”[email protected]_karendennis

I love calzones! I look forward to trying this recipe.
Thank you Cherryl. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Enjoy your week!
Yum! We made pizza calzones for lunch last week. Easy and filling. thank you for sharing your recipe with us!
I bet they were delicious Linda. I love how I can be “honest” and say you cover all the food groups with these. Enjoy your week!
Looks great! I love how once you get the basic dough down you can customize based on what ingredients everyone likes and what you have on hand!
Recipes like these are my favorites. I like sugar cookies for the same reason. You can make 100 different variations. Enjoy your week!
YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for linking to Waste Not Wednesday. Any chance these can be delivered?
I can deliver. But you need to do the dishes! LOL. Thanks Deborah. Enjoy your week.
This looks like a great idea for a houseful of boys coming over this weekend! Thanks!
This would be the ideal food to serve them. You may even fill them up! Enjoy your week!
Hi Marilyn! I found you over on Oh Heartsie Girl! This recipe sounds so good! I only had my first calzone a few years ago, up in PA, when we were visiting my in-laws. We went to a little local restaurant that I don’t remember the name of, but the calzones were sooo good! I can’t wait to try yours! Have a great week!
Thank Shannon for coming all the way from OMHG!! Calzones are the best. Almost like a huge pizza wrap. I am glad oyu enjoyed it. Enjoy your week!
I love Calzone but its ages since I’ve made one. Thank you for linking to #CookBlogShare
I love your party Jacqui. It always has such great links. Enjoy your week!
This looks delicious Marilyn! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday! Can’t wait to see what you link up next week! Roseann from This Autoimmune Life
Glad you like them Roseann. I am working on what to pull from the archives for next week! Enjoy your week.
I love calzones and yours looks delicious.
Thank you so much cat!! I like this one too. Have a greatweek.
Oh my what a yummy treat! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party.
Thank you Helen. Enjoy your week.
We just love calzones! I don’t typically put sauce in mine though; we leave it on the side for dunking. I was always afraid the sauce would make them soggy. We’ll have to try them this way.
I typically “dunk” and sauces or toppings. Years ago I learned in weight watchers it is much easier to control useage when you dunk. I think it is a great idea!! I never thought about it marinara. Thanks for the tip. Enjoy!
Yum! I’m printing this out to make for tonight. Thank you for sharing!
You are welcome Whitney. It is so easy. Really just a folded over mini pizza. Add the toppings you like!!
wow another fav, I can gain weight just look at your recipes ( wink). We haven’t made calzones in a while, your yummy recipe is pinned xo
Thank you for the kind words. Katherine. Enjoy a wonderful week!
Looks delish..Thanks for sharing! Leticia
Thank you Leticia. Enjoy your week.
Is there anything you cannot cook? This is one of my favorites!! But I always eat it out and never homemade.
LOL. Thanks. I need you to come and tell my kids I don’t serve them poison. This is so easy. Sometimes when I am tired I cheat and use premade crusts and double them for thickness. Then stuff and bake. But those recipes don’t get clicked. LOL. Enjoy your week!
These look and sound delicious Marilyn and still have fond childhood memories of these in New York!
Pinned and shared!

Thanks Joanne! Good to see you.
Yum! I love a good calzone and I feel like I haven’t had one lately. Thanks for giving me a craving 🙂
So glad it spurs you! I love to make people hungry.
Pinned….glad you posted it on #AnythingGoes Link Party
Thank you Mary, glad you liked it.
Oh yum! I’m a sucker for a good calzone 🙂 Bread, cheese, meat – what more could a girl ask for?
Well Alison if you are like me, two! thanks for commenting!
Calzones are one of my favorite foods. Nothing better than going to my local pizzeria to get one of the best in town. I imagine that they are much more cost effective if I made it myself, but that’s probably not going to happen. 😉 Thank so much for sharing at #AnythingGoes.
Thanks Sandy! I loce to spice it up with calzones. We can all have our favorite toppings tha way.
I love this pizza version, it’s so delicious! Great recipe again!
Thanks once more! It is so cool we have the same tastes in food and literature. Have a good day.
