Calzone

A calzone is a traditional Italian stuffed and folded pizza, originating from Naples, Italy. It resembles a half-moon and consists of a flavorful filling enclosed by golden, crispy pizza dough. The fillings typically include ingredients such as mozzarella, ricotta or other cheeses, cooked meats, salami, ham, vegetables, and tomato sauce. Calzones are a perfect choice for home cooks looking to serve a delicious and personalized meal, as they offer versatility in their ingredient options. They can be baked or fried, resulting in a delectable experience. Enjoy them on their own or accompanied by marinara sauce, for a casual dinner or a convenient on-the-go meal.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Calzone expire?
An unopened store-bought calzone can usually last in the refrigerator for about 3-5 days past the sell-by date on the package. Once it has been opened, you have about 1-2 days to consume it. Homemade calzones can last up to 3-5 days in the fridge, but remember, fresh is always best! If you need a longer shelf life, you can freeze your calzone. A frozen calzone will last up to 2-3 months. Remember to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and put it in a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
How do you tell if Calzone is bad?
Visual and olfactory cues are your best friends when determining if a calzone has gone bad. Signs that a calzone is not safe to consume include: presence of mold, an off smell, a change in color or texture, or a sour or rancid taste. The crust should be crispy and golden, and the filling should be fresh-looking and not overly soggy. Don't taste or eat it if you're not sure about its safety!
Tips for storing Calzone to extend shelf life
• Always refrigerate calzones within two hours of baking or purchasing to improve their shelf life. • Store calzones in airtight containers or wrap them well in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep them from drying out and absorb odors from the fridge. • When freezing calzones, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then put them in a freezer bag. Be sure to squeeze out any excess air. • To defrost a frozen calzone, place it in the fridge for several hours or overnight. Once defrosted, heat it in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes. Avoid using a microwave to reheat your calzone as it can make the crust soggy.
