Question 1

How do I shape the dough for a calzone?

Accepted Answer

Divide pre-made pizza dough into equal portions and roll into a circle. On one half of the dough, spread the ingredients, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press to seal. Crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork.

Question 2

What temperature should I bake my calzones at?

Accepted Answer

Bake your calzones at a high temperature, such as 400°F or 450°F, for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. A high temperature will help create a crisp crust and cook the filling evenly.

Question 3

What kind of cheese should I use for my calzones?

Accepted Answer

The most common cheese for calzones is ricotta, which adds creaminess and moisture to the filling. You can also use mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, or any other cheese you like. You can mix different cheeses together for more flavor and texture.

Question 4

How do I prevent my calzones from leaking or bursting in the oven?

Accepted Answer

To prevent your calzones from leaking or bursting, make sure you dont overstuff them with too much filling or sauce. Also, cut some small slits on top of each calzone before baking to allow steam to escape. Brushing some egg wash over the dough will also help seal it and prevent cracks.

Question 5

How do I reheat leftover calzones?

Accepted Answer

To reheat leftover calzones, you can either use an oven or a microwave. For oven reheating, preheat it to 375°F and place the calzones on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until heated through. For microwave reheating, wrap each calzone in a damp paper towel and microwave for about one minute per side.

Question 6

When does Calzone expire?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How do you tell if Calzone is bad?

Accepted Answer

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!

Question 8

Tips for storing Calzone to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• 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.
