Calzone, this is a quick and easy recipe that is basically a pizza stuffed with fresh tomatoes, pancetta (if desired), veggies and mozzarella cheese. Delicious.

In the food department Italy is probably best known Pasta, Pizza and Tiramisu. All of which are amazing and delicious but to tell the truth one of my favourites is overly stuffed Calzone.

A homemade calzone is  almost like a pizza, except all the ingredients are inside instead of outside. You can stuff it with all your favourite pizza toppings, although we prefer fresh tomatoes, pepper, mushrooms, a few fresh herbs and of course a good helping of shredded mozzarella.

How to Make Calzone

calzone how to make veggies in the pan, tomatoes and cheese on the dough ready for baking

How to make a Homemade Calzone

  • Using either a good store bought pizza dough or Homemade Pizza Dough , fit in a small round lightly oiled pizza pan.
  • Toss the fresh tomatoes and herbs in a bowl.
  • In a frying pan add some olive oil then and the chopped pancetta (bacon), peppers, salt, mushrooms and fresh herbs and cook until lightly golden.
  • On one half of the rolled out pizza dough, place first the pancetta veggie mix, then top with the tomato mixture and lastly the shredded mozzarella.
  • Gently fold the dough over the filling (to form a half moon shape) and pinch edges or press with fork to seal securely.
  • Brush the calzone with a little olive oil and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden.
  • Let sit 5 minutes before cutting.

What is the difference between Panzerotti (or Panzarotti) and Calzone?

Both are made with either pizza or bread dough, although Panzerotti dough has a little more fat. Both are stuffed with tomatoes, veggies, some type of meat and of course mozzarella cheese.

The only difference is in the way they are cooked. A Panzerotti is deep fried and a Calzone is baked.

A fried Panzerotti is also very popular in Naples where it is called Pizza Fritta (Fried Pizza). The original “Street Food of Naples”.

What is a Stromboli?

A Stromboli is square shaped pizza dough that is topped with your choice of toppings (usually tomato sauce, veggies and mozzarella cheese) and then rolled into a log and baked.

So there you have it, different names to mean different Recipes. Although all are delicious and each worth trying. I hope you try this Homemade Calzone with fresh veggies first. Buon Appetito!

      I thought this said vegetarian?
      Calls for ham or bacon?

        Hi Arnie, you don’t have to add the pancetta if you don’t want. 🙂
