Easy Calzone Recipe
Want a break from that boring old sandwich? Impress your family by making this Easy Calzone Recipe! The thing that I LOVE about calzones are how versatile they are. You can make anything from a breakfast calzone, to a traditional pizza calzone and I have even seen a spaghetti calzone! For this calzone we just did a simple pastrami and cheddar combination. These cook up in no time and have a savory crispy crust!
Easy Calzone Recipe
Ingredients
- 16 frozen un-risen dinner rolls. I like to use the Rhodes brand. You can also use crescent dough instead of rolls.
- 1 pound of pastrami - or any other meat you choose
- 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar. you can also use small slices of cheddar cheese.
- 1 whole egg beaten
Instructions
- Place the frozen dinner rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover with a light towel and allow for rolls to thaw and rise. This takes about 4 to 5 hours depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
- Once rolls rise and are thawed, pre-heat oven to 400.
- If you have a filling that needs to be cooked (meat), then go ahead and prepare it at this time.
- Take rolls and roll them out on a floured surface until they are almost paper thin.
- Place the filling on one half of the roll leaving room around the edge to seal.
- Fold the dough over and press the edges together with a fork to make sure they are completely sealed. You can also roll the edges of the dough together for a decorative look.
- Place the calzones on a greased baking sheet and brush the top with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
