The dough was great. I don't know what I did different but it made 2 huge calzones. I filled mine with ricotta, mozzarella and ham. So good. Next time I will add some seasoning to the ricotta.

This is very good! I would like to add that you can make this without using a bread machine! I made it without a bread machine and it was fantastic.

10 STARS! I have made this too many times to count over the past year. I use milk in place of the water and powdered milk, and add garlic powder and oregano to the dough. Terrific recipe for customizing with your favorite meat and veggies inside. We like this served with a zesty Italian sauce on the side and no pizza sauce inside. For a double batch, I like to make a cheese filling with 15 oz ricotta cheese, 16 oz shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 egg, black pepper and oregano. Over top of this, we layer: sauteed onions, garlic, peppers, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, rosemary, oregano, and cooked meat or pineapple and ham. The braiding makes a beautiful calzone and is easy to do. About five minutes before it is done baking, I brush it very lightly with butter and a touch of Parmesan cheese. If you make a double batch, make sure you help the bread machine get started with the mixing as it is a lot of flour, but it works in my Hitachi bread maker. Better than what you can get in a restaurant! Thank you Kevin K.!

This recipe was great. I made the dough in my bread maker and added a little basil, oregano, and a sun dried tomato/Parmesan dry mixture. For the inside I used homemade tomato sauce, mozzarella, sauteed broccoli/red/green peppers/garlic. I topped the calzones with butter and parmesean before I threw it in the oven. It was AMAZING. The outside breading was so good I could have eaten it plain as breadsticks. The only thing that was a little hard was dealing with the dough because it was very sticky. It was worth it and I will definitely be making this recipe often.

These calzones were excellent. My husband said it is the best thing I have ever made(and I cook a lot). The dough tasted exactly like Pizza Hut's pan pizza. I do not have a bread machine so after proofing the yeast(mixing the yeast w/sugar and warm water for 10 minutes), I added the other ingredients and kneaded it for about 6-8 minutes. After that, I let the dough rise in a covered bowl in my oven on the lowest setting. Rolling the dough out was a breeze and the recipe is really quite simple with delicious results. Highly recommend.

Very easy! I just rolled it out to a 10"x16" rectangle, put the filling inside, and sealed it up. I made half of it vegetarian (ricotta, red and green bell peppers, onions, sliced black olives, mushrooms and mozzarella) and the other half with pepperoni. I chose to dip the calzone in marinara instead of adding to it. I may put the sauce in next time. I think the dough would make a nice loaf of bread too.

being a professional baker, I do not own a bread machine. I do however own a Kitchen Aid Mixer. I made 1 1/2 times the recipes as some other reader's have done and I mixed it on the mixer. I allowed the dough to rise until double, about an hour. This dough was so yummy, we all made pigs out of our selves! It made delicious Calzones and we where each able to make our own, with our favorite fillings. I loved mine with Spinach, Mushrooms, Onions, ham and Mozzarella cheese. My husband suggested that next time, I leave some dough unused, and fry dough balls as some Italian restaurants do, and make zepoles for dessert. (small fried pizza dough balls, rolled in powdered sugar after frying)

We loved this! All four of my children ate their dinner and then we argued over who would take the leftovers for the next days lunch. I am about to make another one to put in the freezer, for a day when I am in a pinch, to save me from having to splurge and pay for delivery pizza. Thanks for this recipe.

Delicious, and surprisingly easy. The braiding is a little tricky, as the directions are somewhat vague. Basically, after heaping the mixture in a line down the center, use a sharp knife to cut downward diagonally angled "flaps". Like this: (right side) //////// (middle) ----- (left side) \\\\\\\\ Then overlap each side, and tuck in the ends. At least that is how I went about it and it turned out nicely. I subbed 1 tablespoon of actual milk for the powdered; didn't throw off the recipe, despite the extra liquid. I also added another teaspoon of sugar.

I made this tonight. I only used the calzone dough and it reminded me of the calzones I used to eat in NY. It was great. I also made individual calzones, and I let the dough rest when it came out of the bread machine and then let it rise for about 15-20 minutes after the calzones were done. Since everyone wanted their own filling, I "glued" a piece of the filling (pepperoni, broccoli, etc.) to the outside so everyone would know what was inside each one.

Dough was very elastic when taken out of the bread machine. FYI, some nice person advised me that it should rest for a few minutes before using. Also, recipe did not say to let rise after forming the calzone, but I made individual ones and the ones I did first (that had some time to rise) weren't as tough, so I would allow for some rising time also. Although pretty good, the filling was pretty basic. And leaked out anywhere I did not seal perfectly. Now that I know a little more about making these, I WILL try again, allowing extra time for the above and being much fussier about sealing the dough.

My family absolutely loves this dish, we make it into individual calzones and add whatever toppings that one wants, the kids love to help make dinner! The only down side it I cant seem to get the dough thin enough, it always seems too thick and tough, if anyone has any tips, let me know please! Other than that this is a great recipe!

Fantabulous!!! I made individual sized calzones and the family couldn't wait for the second batch to come out of the oven. I added some Ital. seasoning and some Parmesan cheese to the dough but that was the only change I made. I will be making this again real soon.

2 Thumbs UP! Made this exactly as recipe stated (except used meatballs instead of sausage). I can see this becoming a "staple" in our house. Especially when I have a houseful of growing kids and all their friends. So many possibilities and options - a great recipe to "tweek". Easy way to use up leftovers! Thanks
