Bread dough makes it a breeze to assemble these savory turnovers. If you have a favorite pizza dough, use it instead. These freeze well and once they are frozen, they can be heated in half an hour. -Lee Ann Lowe, Gray, Maine

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your calzones. Some good options include spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, peppers, and onions.
  • Be sure to drain any excess moisture from your vegetables before adding them to the calzone filling. This will help prevent the calzone from becoming soggy.
  • Season the filling generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Use a light hand when rolling out the dough. You want the dough to be thin enough to fold easily, but not so thin that it tears.
  • Brush the calzones with olive oil before baking. This will help them brown beautifully.
  • Serve the calzones hot out of the oven with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Veggie calzones are a delicious and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little planning, you can easily make veggie calzones that are both healthy and delicious.
