About the Recipe
Calzones – have you ever heard of them? These delightful creations hail from the picturesque city of Naples, Italy, and they’re like a folded, savory version of pizza, reminiscent of a baked sandwich. Picture a doughy turnover with a delectable filling, featuring a mouthwatering blend of meats, vegetables, or cheese. While you might be more familiar with the traditional savory varieties, it might surprise you to know that sweet-filled calzones exist, serving as scrumptious dessert options.
The name ‘Calzone’ has an intriguing history rooted in Latin. It’s derived from the word “Calceus,” which translates to ‘shoe.’ Nowadays, it’s widely accepted that ‘Calzone’ refers to a ‘stuffed stocking or trouser leg,’ perhaps because the dough puffs up during baking, resembling the shape of a stocking or trouser leg.
As much as we all adore pizza, it’s not the most convenient choice for packing in your lunchbox. This is where the versatile calzone steps in as a champion. Not only does it make an excellent addition to your lunchbox, but it’s also perfect for picnics. Plus, the dough is a breeze to make, and you can get creative with a wide array of fillings. The possibilities are endless!
