- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

March 29, 2018 at 7:04 AMI mean pizza, lots of bread, yummy! I love that your recipe only calls for mozzarella. I’m not a ricotta fan.
Marilyn
March 29, 2018 at 3:14 PMI like ricotta, but a thin layer. In my humble opinion, it doesn’t belong anywhere near a pizza in my home. LOL. Happy Easter!

Michelle
March 24, 2018 at 1:56 AMMy 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?
Marilyn
March 24, 2018 at 9:27 AMNo 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.
April J Harris
March 23, 2018 at 2:39 PMI 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.

March 21, 2018 at 6:07 AMHi 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!
Marilyn
March 21, 2018 at 7:54 PMThank 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!

March 17, 2018 at 6:06 PMWe 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.
Marilyn
March 17, 2018 at 7:32 PMI 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!

March 17, 2018 at 9:35 AMYum! I’m printing this out to make for tonight. Thank you for sharing!

March 12, 2018 at 9:14 PMIs there anything you cannot cook? This is one of my favorites!! But I always eat it out and never homemade.
Marilyn
March 12, 2018 at 9:56 PMLOL. 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!

Sandy Sandmeyer
May 24, 2015 at 8:38 PMCalzones 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.
Marilyn
May 24, 2015 at 9:04 PMThanks Sandy! I loce to spice it up with calzones. We can all have our favorite toppings tha way.
