I'm going to make Calzones for dinner. Just cheese for the filling. I think
I make them once before and my then husband was not impressed as they were
not authentic. Not many places make them here. I don't recall ever getting
any in NY. I had my first one in Reno but didn't like it as they used only
Ricotta for the filling. Had them many times in PA where they used Ricotta
mixed with other cheeses.

One thing all had in common was there was no sauce inside. Sauce was served
on the side to dip them in.

I was looking at recipes to get a bake time/temp. It was hard to find many
recipes for just cheese. Most were broccoli and cheese or spinach and
cheese. And most had sauce inside. Also, many were made into squares,
triangles. rectangles, etc.

To me, a Calzone is a folded over circle and has no sauce inside. How do you
make yours?

Boring.

I'm picturing one of the "As Seen On TV" kitchen gimmicks where they
show some bobblehead breaking eggs all over the stove.

Here it is:

That's Julie trying to make calzones.

Where in the fuck are you looking up these recipes? Calzones are
mixed Italian cheeses with ricotta and (should be) some sort of
meat. Optional green pepper and onion. Marinara on the side.

You'd be better of just making a grilled cheese sandwich.

Never come across a Calzone like that before.

Eh? What sort of Calzone is that?

I don't. But I used to make them when I worked at a restaurant. In
simple terms, they were one of many pizzas on the menu, folded in
half.

That's not what they are in PA. They always have at least some ricotta
inside and no sauce. There was a pizza place that opened near here then
quickly closed due to family illness. Theirs was the same but had too much
garlic in it for me.

You can make your calzone any way you like - unless you're cooking for your spouse. You can fold it any way you like too. I don't make calzone because I prefer a hand pie made with short crust rather than pizza dough - but I used to make them just fine. The question is got is "is it a calzone if it's made with short crust?"

Here's a couple of calzone made with pizza dough.

I think food should be enjoyed how you want to, so if you like it, keep eating it.
But that being said, I prefer my calzones to be like a heavy loaded pizza folded in half. You have more structure to cram more tasty food in there.
I think having sauce helps prevent dryness and adds more flavor. But beware, a soggy calzone is a sad calzone to me.

Have you ever tried a pastel? Its a Brazilian food like a calzone, in that it is dough stuffed with meats and cheese, in any combination you like. Although it is fried, not baked. Not very healthy but it sure is tasty!

No. I saw that recipe. It has meat in it. Also breadcrumbs. Those don't
belong. This is where I've eaten them countless times:

http://www.fratellositalian.com/

Everything they make is wonderful! I also learned from them that you need a
dedicated oven for calzones as they bake at a different temp. than pizza.

Mine came out great! I used a large rectangle of dough and folded the edges
over. No egg to seal. My filling was about a half cup of Ricotta. 1/2 cup of
shredded Mozzarella and 1/4 cup of grated Parm. I was surprised to see a
bit of green pepper in with my red onion. I'd forgotten I'd tucked it into
the bag. I used about 1/4 cup of onion. pepper and about a dozen grape
tomatoes. I cut those up, then blotted off the liquid. Mixed in the cheeses,
some dried (didn't have fresh) basil and black pepper. Forgot the salt.
Should have added a bit.

This didn't look like enough filling to me so after I put the filling on the
dough, I added a good sprinkle of more Mozzarella.

I realize now that I could have used a lot more filling. I was cautioned by
many recipes not to overfill and underfilling was better so it wouldn't leak
out. Nothing leaked.

I did overbake it just teeny bit. Had a loud song playing. Didn't hear the
timer but could smell it. It didn't burn. But one corner had about a 1/4"
bit that got too brown.

I'll make this again soon with more filling.

You have a picture attached to your google account. It shows it on
your postings on Google Groups even though they're not posted Google

It's the same hideous picture on your Facebook page, too. And on

Just to clarify my comment about pastels of Brazil. They are thin dough folded around fillings. Normally not filled with sauce. Can be made with what ever you like. I knew a guy who always got mozzarella and cheddar for some reason. Not my thing but hey to each there own.

Rather than writing as "mean Jill," you could have

In nearby Norfolk,Va, (a Navy town) a pastie is a small item

We could say the same thing about you. In the baked buffalo chicken
wings thread you completely snipped my method for making "buffalo wings"
in the oven under the the broiler rather than frying. You focused
instead on me saying I discard the wing tips, not worth saving even for
stock. Apparently in your mind that means I've never made chicken
stock. You'd be wrong about that. You're wrong about so many things.

The wing tips are great naked fried all crispy. Great for nibbling on as a snack. The wing tips are my favorite part of the Thanksgiving turkey. Gee, that reminds me ;).
******************************

Ian put out the dishes and flatware, while Richard fetched the bird. It was rather small, and the meal wasn't as extensive as the typical Thanksgiving feast. The stuffing was done in the turkey, and the sides consisted of Southern style green beans with potatoes, with plenty of bacon, cranberry sauce, corn, and bread, with plenty of butter. Before slicing the turkey, Richard cut off a wing tip for Ian, "Winter said you love these." As everyone made their way to their seats, Richard asked, "Who's having beer?"

Winter waved her hands as she said, "Me, me, me, me."

Eric replied, "Maybe later," and with Chloe and Tally, opted for the iced green tea.

Richard retrieved three very large mugs from the freezer, and Winter swooped. She filled her glass and took a drink before turning to face her father with a foam moustache, barking out in a gruff voice, "License and proof of insurance, son."

Winter, Ian and Richard had claimed the side of the oval table that was nearest the beer, and the meagerness of their dinners more than suggested that they weren't intending to fill up on food. Eric had gone the other route. With his drumstick, he reminded Winter of pictures of Henry the VIII, something she didn't hesitate to share. Chloe wasn't far behind, with her eating-for-two situation.

Ian's plate was topped with a wing tip, over a large serving of green beans. He had carefully dodged the chunks of potato. Winter noticed her mother glancing at his plate and said, "I know I'm not supposed to speak about your personal life, Ian, but my mom seems concerned to the point of distress. You see everyone, Ian is leading a double life, and his alter-ego is a supermodel."

Ian gestured to Eric's overloaded plate and declared, "Better that than a bulbous, 16th century monarch with a penchant for beheadings."

What I snipped was not relevant to my comment to you.
Who cares how you make chicken wings?

You said, and I quoted:
> Discarded the tips, they aren't worth the
> time, no not even for stock.

That's what I quoted as that was the only thing I was responding
to. That is proper snipping for Usenet.

Get real, girl. Maybe get out of the house more and not just out
on your back patio.

Better yet, when you respond emotionally, save as draft, sleep on
it then read again in the morning before deciding whether to send
or not.

As far as you making chicken stock? Maybe once years ago. You
wouldn't toss out any chicken part if you did. If so, that
would be kinda dumb to do.

BTW, your method of making buffalo wings was quite odd too.
I'm even doubting now that you've made those.
Your method is so wrong.

Those things were made so long ago that I have no idea what they were stuffed with. Mostly, they are pizza dough stuffed with pizza stuff. It might have been that I was making a pizza and decided to change course in midstream. That could happen when making pizzas.

Fryers are good - but a little scary. We once checked out a house that had a built-in fryer. It was a Chinese style house with a galley kitchen that was open on both ends. I would have enjoyed cooking and frying in such a kitchen.

This is the little one I only use for fish: https://www.target.com/p/oster-1-5qt-deep-fryer-stainless-steel-ckstdf102/-/A-51090461

I wish to heck I had a second kitchen with deep fryers and vented such that I could grill/BBQ with wood and charcoal. The idea even made it into my book:

Next, he took her to his barbecue room, a transformed sun porch with a giant range hood, and elaborate exhaust and fire suppression system. He said that the building inspector for the city had laughed, but the inspector from the county issued the permits, and he went on to explain in some detail how it all worked, and that the ideas were all his, but the technology was way outside his skill set, and had been designed by someone who knew what he was doing.

Ann asked, "So the air quality sensors send readings to the computer, which adjusts the fan speeds? Ian, that's brilliant. Have you considered patenting the design?"

"No. I don't need any more money, but if you are so inclined, you can look into patenting it. I'd be happy to pay the fees. You could probably do it as a practicum, though I'd require that you be completely honest as to our respective roles."

"Of course. Ian, I'd never try to take credit for someone else's ideas, and learning the patenting process, that's a valuable skill. Winter told me that you're someone who cares about personal integrity. She really respects you."

"And I respect her. Why don't you keep her company while I prepare lunch."

Winter was sitting in the living room, reading, when Ann joined her. "Ian has cool toys."

Easy. Pizzas are Italian. Chicago isn't in Italy.

I have a small electric fryer on top of the cabinet. It's been up there for years. When I was using it, it was a fun time. These days, I'd just use a wok and about an inch of oil.

That pic was never on my Frontier website. And no, it's not there. I did
check when I transferred my files to my new computer and that link came up.

If you find it hideous? Oh well. I don't care.

We have a local FB food group. A woman recently posted a pic of a pizza with
a rather thick crust and asked,"Where can I get a real, Italian pizza like
this, here?" We all laughed. That pizza didn't resemble any pizza made in
Italy and clearly it was something made here as it had the red and white
checkered tablecloth underneath it as well as a shaker of Kraft Parmesan
cheese.

Just to clarify my comment about pastels of Brazil. They are thin dough
folded around fillings. Normally not filled with sauce. Can be made with
what ever you like. I knew a guy who always got mozzarella and cheddar for
some reason. Not my thing but hey to each there own.

Brazilian fast-food:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastel_(food)

And they ae fried. Calzones are not.

I asked my Canadian/Italian friend last night. He said a cheese calzone
should never have sauce inside but he does put sauce in his eggplant ones.

If you think all Italian pizzas have thin crust, you don't know jack.
Check out Sicilian pizza.
