While I love homemade pizza<\/a>, I am also a big fan of pizza’s modest cousin, the calzone. And while I am all for a homemade calzone recipe (from scratch), this post is more about ways to make easy calzone using different types of crust mixes or store-bought dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calzone is different from stromboli in two ways. Stromboli is rolled, like a pizza cinnamon roll, while a calzone only has a top and bottom layer. If a calzone is a pressed sandwich, stromboli is a pinwheel burrito. I also think of calzone like a pizza pocket (or my childhood favorite: Hot Pocket).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second difference is calzone is usually made with ricotta cheese (or a mix of cheese including ricotta). This adds moisture to the calzone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
