I'm going to make Calzones for dinner. Just cheese for the filling. I think
I make them once before and my then husband was not impressed as they were
not authentic. Not many places make them here. I don't recall ever getting
any in NY. I had my first one in Reno but didn't like it as they used only
Ricotta for the filling. Had them many times in PA where they used Ricotta
mixed with other cheeses.

One thing all had in common was there was no sauce inside. Sauce was served
on the side to dip them in.

I was looking at recipes to get a bake time/temp. It was hard to find many
recipes for just cheese. Most were broccoli and cheese or spinach and
cheese. And most had sauce inside. Also, many were made into squares,
triangles. rectangles, etc.

To me, a Calzone is a folded over circle and has no sauce inside. How do you
make yours?

To you, a Calzone is a piece of nothing baked dough.

Boring.

I'm picturing one of the "As Seen On TV" kitchen gimmicks where they
show some bobblehead breaking eggs all over the stove.

Here it is:

That's Julie trying to make calzones.

Where in the **** are you looking up these recipes? Calzones are
mixed Italian cheeses with ricotta and (should be) some sort of
meat. Optional green pepper and onion. Marinara on the side.

You'd be better of just making a grilled cheese sandwich.

Never come across a Calzone like that before.

Eh? What sort of Calzone is that?

I don't. But I used to make them when I worked at a restaurant. In
simple terms, they were one of many pizzas on the menu, folded in
half.

One thing I don't get about Julie is why she has that awful pic of her face that appears on GoogleGroups. One thing I've noticed is that most people look better wearing Covid-19 masks. Julie would benefit more than most if her face were masked.

Online. You can get cheese calzones. Just like you can get cheese pizza. I
don't know about cheese stromboli. I think that usually has meat.

That's not what they are in PA. They always have at least some ricotta
inside and no sauce. There was a pizza place that opened near here then
quickly closed due to family illness. Theirs was the same but had too much
garlic in it for me.

I use for pizza . Because that's the way WE like them .

You can make your calzone any way you like - unless you're cooking for your spouse. You can fold it any way you like too. I don't make calzone because I prefer a hand pie made with short crust rather than pizza dough - but I used to make them just fine. The question is got is "is it a calzone if it's made with short crust?"

Here's a couple of calzone made with pizza dough.

https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared...YbDE3vC3rX_kFv

I think food should be enjoyed how you want to, so if you like it, keep eating it.
But that being said, I prefer my calzones to be like a heavy loaded pizza folded in half. You have more structure to cram more tasty food in there.
I think having sauce helps prevent dryness and adds more flavor. But beware, a soggy calzone is a sad calzone to me.

Have you ever tried a pastel? Its a Brazilian food like a calzone, in that it is dough stuffed with meats and cheese, in any combination you like. Although it is fried, not baked. Not very healthy but it sure is tasty!

Why yes, everybody knows that a fried pie is better than a baked pie on any day of the week.

You can make your calzone any way you like - unless you're cooking for your

No, because I don't like meat.

Unless you fill it with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. Then it's a pastzone. I've made pasties too. I just don't put no stinkin' neeps in them.

No. I saw that recipe. It has meat in it. Also breadcrumbs. Those don't
belong. This is where I've eaten them countless times:

http://www.fratellositalian.com/

Everything they make is wonderful! I also learned from them that you need a
dedicated oven for calzones as they bake at a different temp. than pizza.

Mine came out great! I used a large rectangle of dough and folded the edges
over. No egg to seal. My filling was about a half cup of Ricotta. 1/2 cup of
shredded Mozzarella and 1/4 cup of grated Parm. I was surprised to see a
bit of green pepper in with my red onion. I'd forgotten I'd tucked it into
the bag. I used about 1/4 cup of onion. pepper and about a dozen grape
tomatoes. I cut those up, then blotted off the liquid. Mixed in the cheeses,
some dried (didn't have fresh) basil and black pepper. Forgot the salt.
Should have added a bit.

This didn't look like enough filling to me so after I put the filling on the
dough, I added a good sprinkle of more Mozzarella.

I realize now that I could have used a lot more filling. I was cautioned by
many recipes not to overfill and underfilling was better so it wouldn't leak
out. Nothing leaked.

I did overbake it just teeny bit. Had a loud song playing. Didn't hear the
timer but could smell it. It didn't burn. But one corner had about a 1/4"
bit that got too brown.

I'll make this again soon with more filling.

You have a picture attached to your google account. It shows it on
your postings on Google Groups even though they're not posted Google
Groups. Before you object and lie, maybe you should look at Google
Groups first...

It's the same hideous picture on your Facebook page, too. And on
your Frontier.net website (here we go again...I think that was
courtesy of Bryan IIRC).

That's because neither pasties nor calzoni come from Brazil.

Calzone (word and recipe) is Italian.

Just to clarify my comment about pastels of Brazil. They are thin dough folded around fillings. Normally not filled with sauce. Can be made with what ever you like. I knew a guy who always got mozzarella and cheddar for some reason. Not my thing but hey to each there own.

Why did you snip a relevant part of what she wrote?

Rather than writing as "mean Jill," you could have
offered a recipe idea. Or you could have just not
responded at all.

You can make your calzone any way you like - unless you're cooking for your
spouse. You can fold it any way you like too. I don't make calzone because I
prefer a hand pie made with short crust rather than pizza dough - but I used
to make them just fine. The question is got is "is it a calzone if it's made
with short crust?"

Here's a couple of calzone made with pizza dough.

I think food should be enjoyed how you want to, so if you like it, keep
eating it.
But that being said, I prefer my calzones to be like a heavy loaded pizza
folded in half. You have more structure to cram more tasty food in there.
I think having sauce helps prevent dryness and adds more flavor. But beware,
a soggy calzone is a sad calzone to me.

Have you ever tried a pastel? Its a Brazilian food like a calzone, in that
it is dough stuffed with meats and cheese, in any combination you like.
Although it is fried, not baked. Not very healthy but it sure is tasty!

Recipe please)))

Why yes, everybody knows that a fried pie is better than a baked pie on any
day of the week.

My son suggested that we buy a third fryer, dedicated to donuts and such. The big fryer is for meat and potatoes, and the little one is for fish. We really don't have room for it. The house is huge, but the kitchen is small.

In nearby Norfolk,Va, (a Navy town) a pastie is a small item
of clothing that a stripper/dancer wears.

If graham had spelled "pasty" correctly, the ambiguity would have been
prevented.
