Easy Delicious Calzone

If you have ever eaten at our house than there stands a good chance you have tried our "homemade" calazone.  It is my favorite go to recipe because they are easy, delicious and no one hates calzone. There is really no limit to what type of calzone you can make; I listed our two favorite types, but feel free to create to your hearts content.


Meatball Calzone
Frozen Rhodes bread loaf--( 1 pound loaf, thawed)
Frozen Costco Italian Meatballs-heat as directed-(about a dozen)
Shredded Mozzarella cheese (1-2 cups)- I use whatever type of cheese I have on hand
Parmesan (1/2 cup)
Egg wash (opt.)



Pizza Calzone

Frozen Rhodes bread loaf--( 1 pound loaf, thawed)
Shredded Mozzarella cheese (1-2 cups) - I use whatever type of cheese I have on hand
Parmesan (1/2 cup)
Egg wash (opt.)
Various pizza toppings pepperoni, onions, green peppers, etc.

Serve with your favorite  marinara sauce

On a floured surface roll out the thawed dough into a 18 x 12 inch rectangle. 
Spoon on the desired amount of cooked meatballs and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese on half the rectangle of dough.  Fold dough over filling and press edges firmly to seal.
Place on a  cookie sheet &brush top with egg wash (if desired) and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Let stand for 15-30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown.
