I make something pretty similar to this, but have a few additions that really make it pop. 1) Decrease the Italian seasoning or skip it completely. Instead, brush some pesto onto the inside of the dough before you roll it up (store bought Progresso works- cheap and easy). 2) Instead of frozen bread dough, you can buy fresh pizza dough in the cheese or deli section of most grocery stores. Tastes amazing. 3) Ricotta is optional. Just the spinach and mozzarella combo with the spinach works great as long as you serve it warm.

Makes too much filling. Egg once mixed with cheeses does not store well in a fridge for any length of time so if using the egg, mix it as a 2nd mixing stage once you know how much filling you're actually going to use. Stock recipe sorta bland, this is one to really get creative on, but is a solid base point for making something that when cooked should look awfully similar to a calzone. Ideas: Dill? Salt? Gouda? Colby-Jack? Meats? buttered garlic? Add just about anything you wanna add into the mix to add an edge to it (The cheeses are mild aka bland) would be my recommendation for other people cooking it.

I'll make it again, but needs a dipping sauce or something.

The filling was excellent. As some of the other reviewers suggested I used Refrigerated Pizza Dough but wish I hadn't. It was so salty! Next time I will make my own dough.

These were tasteless and unedible. After spending hours making them I ended up trowing the whole batch in the trash.

My family loved this recipe! Especially my kids. My daughter actually went back for seconds, which she never does! The only thing I did different was use fresh chopped spinach. Thanks for a wonderful recipe and great way to get the kids to eat a green veggie.

The basic idea of this is good. I didn't like the spinach so I am going to try it with other things mixed in (ham, green peppers and pineapple).

I've never made calzones before.. so, I was nervous going in. I added a tablespoon of chopped garlic. The calzones turned out lovely. Looked very presentable. My boyfriend suggested adding Italian sausage. Along with another reviewer, I think adding mushrooms would be phenomenal. Just need to find your own taste preference. Overall, I loved this recipe and will definitely be making it again.
