This classic Italian calzone recipe, with its amazing sauce and crispiness, will be one of your favourites. Happy cooking!
Tip from the Author
In this recipe, I wrote the steps for preparing the dough and the sauce for the calzone. I, however, didn’t include the stuffing steps. I left the choice of stuffing ingredients to my lovely readers. In your calzone, you can use any type of cheese, meat and/or veggies to your taste.

Preparing the Dough
- Mix half of the water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl.
- Mix salt and the rest of the water in a different container, when the salt dissolves pour this salty water onto the yeast mixture.
- Mix the ingredients in the big bowl thoroughly.
- Start adding the flour gradually while you keep mixing and kneading the dough.
- When the dough is homogenously mixed, pour the vegetable oil and knead for 1 more minute.
- When the dough is smooth and thoroughly mixed, cover the bowl and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour. Making the Sauce
- While waiting for the dough to rise, you can prepare the sauce.
- Mix the tomato puree, olive oil, vinegar, spices and salt in a bowl. Set it aside for later. Making the Calzones
- Divide the risen dough into smaller pieces (each 120 g), roll them into ball shapes between your hands with the help of some extra flour. Set them aside.
- Take a piece of dough and roll it out on the counter to get a large circle (you can sprinkle some extra flour to help you roll out easier).
- Pour 3 tablespoons of the sauce onto one half of the circle and spread.
-
Place some of your stuffing onto the sauced half of the circle.
- Close the other half of the circle on top of the sauced half.
-
Close the sides tightly with your fingers or a fork (You can roll them on top of each other with your fingers or use a fork to tightly press them shut).
- Repeat this process for each piece of dough.
- Place the finished calzones on top of an oven tray which is covered with baking paper.
- Spread the olive oil gently on top of the calzones with the help of an egg brush.
- Preheat the oven at 170°C (335°F), use the fan mode.
- Bake the calzones for 20 minutes.
- Bon appetit!
