This is a great recipe. I divided the dough to make four separate calzones. Also, I will add a little less sugar next time, as I thought the dough was a little too sweet.

When I served this to my husband, he told me "This is the best calzone I've ever had! If we were at a restaurant, I'd say we have to come back here!" I split the dough in half, so that we could each have our own and I could use different fillings. Because I didn't want extra work, I didn't cut the dough and lace it as described. I folded it in half, as I have seen done, and folded over the edges, as though it were a pie. I cut 3 slits on top of each and brushed the top with butter and sprinkled it with garlic powder, oregano and basil. It was absolutely delicious! So good, in fact, that I had to make it a second time a couple of days later!

I just got my bread machine and have not had much luck with any of the recipes I've tried. I was about ready to just give the thing away. Yesterday, I decided to give it one last shot and made this recipe. I did make a few minor modifications but it was WONDERFUL! I didn't have powdered milk so I used 1/4 cup warm 2% milk in place of 1/4 cup of water. I also took the advice of some of the other reviewers and added 1 tsp. of Italian seasoning and 1 tsp. of garlic to the dough. I checked the doughball at the beginning of the second knead and it looked fine but when I peeked in after it was done kneading, it was a mess. Looked like something had exploded and the dough looked more like pancake batter and was incredibly sticky. It was too late to add anything at that point (it was finished kneading) so I just let it go. When the dough cycle was done, I got some flour on my hands and pulled out a handful of the sticky mess. I kneaded in a little more flour by hand at that point and it suddenly looked just like pizza dough! Since I had to work with the dough in small batches, I made 4 good sized calzones (my husband and I each shared one with one of the kids and we were all full with two whole ones leftover). I did put some pizza sauce inside along with shredded cheese, pepperoni and sausage then folded the dough over and pinched to seal. I cut slits in the top to vent then brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with garlic powder and parmesan cheese. I only had to b

This was really, really good. Pizza dough is always such a challenge for me! So sticky. Make sure you use plenty of flour on your surface and rolling pin. I put spinach, mushrooms, basil, sauce, pepperoni and cheese. I was worried about the spinach and mushrooms because they tend to add a lot of liquid on a normal pizza, but the crust held up just fine with no sogginess so that is a bonus. I will be making this again and again. It was tastey and easy and cheap! You can not ask for more than that. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Made this for dinner lastnight and it was all gone by the morning. I made one with sauteed onions and leftover chunks of cooked chicken breasts and moz. cheese. The other one I made with hot calabrese, hot capocollo, pepper salame, and mozz. cheese. I also added pizza seasoning I made and store in a bottle (oregano, basil,onion flakes, garlic pwdr,thyme, blk pepper, and salt) to the dough. I took a few of the pointers of brushing the dough with the garlic butter and it was very yummy! Kids like to dip theres in marinara or pizza sauce.

I love this recipe and so does my family!! I get three calzones out of this recipe,just roll the dough very thin, but we like our crust a thinner. I add seasonings to the crust too,from dried garlic to a dired tomato basil seasoning for a better taste.

This is an awesome recipe! The only changes I made was to add pizza seasonings to the dough and it turned out great! Make sure you roll the crust out thin otherwise it will be VERY thick when it is finished cooking.

One of my families favorites. We add our own toppings and leave out the sauce, then cover with garlic butter.

Very good. The guys loved it although they said the crust to topping ratio was off... so next time I'm going to overlap the dough less when wrapping the toppings.

My kids and I love this recipe, although the dough is a little bland if you follow the recipe exactly. I like to spice it up with some herbs and cheese sprinkled on after brushing with melted butter. Makes great pizza dough and breadsticks, too.

We liked this. The dough was very good. For my filling, I used 1/2 C ricotta instead of tomato sauce (real calzones don't have tomato sauce in them, you are supposed to dip it in the sauce that is on the side). 1 1/2 C. mozzarella, 1/2 C Italian sausage, & 1/2 C broccoli. I added 1/8 t each of oregano, parsley, garlic powder & pepper but will prob make more next time. Thanks for the great recipe.

The calzone turned out very nice. The dough was perfect, easy to work with. The kids loved it (13-19 year olds). I made two calzones for five people, had half of one left over.

Just used the dough recipe and our own fillings, this was a great dinner! I made two calzones, one as written that turned out really pretty (for a dinner item) and one like the traditional looking calzone. My husband liked them too, many possibilities with this recipe, thanks!
