No matter how you pronounce it they are fantastic! The possibilities are also endless just like pizza. This is a great easy meal that takes no time if you go simple on the filling.
Growing up in an Italian household we always had cold-cuts on hand and my mom entertained A LOT so we frequently had calzone for appetizers or to put out at a buffet. It's a great way to cheaply feed many people. Not to mention you can pull an Italian calzone together in no time.
My husband prefers a meat filling and I prefer either veggies or cold cuts. Tonight I planned on doing 2 individual calzones, one with sausage, mushroom, cheese and sauce and the other with broccoli, mushroom and cheese. You can also do this for a party. They can be cooked ahead of time and kept warm in the oven. One ball of dough should get you a calzone that is about 6x12 inches. I cut them in 2" pieces and serve at parties as an appetizer. It's a great finger food.
This would also be a fun dinner party food. Instead of make your own pizza you can do a "make your own calzone" party! Much easier to handle in the oven vs. pizza.
To sauce or not to sauce…I prefer NOT to sauce. I think it makes the inside a bit soggy and the sauce and ooze out and get messy. If you want tomato sauce on your calzone add it over the top after baking or put in a bowl and dip the pieces into it.
