Tips:
- Prep the dough ahead of time: You can make the dough up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you want to make the calzones.
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to get creative with your fillings. You can use any combination of meats, cheeses, and vegetables that you like. Some popular options include ground lamb, sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, spinach, and mushrooms.
- Don't overstuff the calzones: Calzones should be filled, but not so full that they're difficult to fold and seal. Overstuffed calzones are also more likely to leak while they're baking.
- Seal the calzones tightly: Use a fork or your fingers to crimp the edges of the dough together tightly. This will help to prevent the calzones from opening up while they're baking.
- Bake the calzones until they're golden brown: Calzones should be baked until they're golden brown on top. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Conclusion:
Lamb calzones are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer or snack. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique lamb calzone recipes that everyone will love.
