Like their Italian cousin pizza, calzoni (plural of calzone) originated in Naples, Italy during the 18th century. Translated to “pant leg” or “trouser,” the calzone’s original purpose was to serve as a “walk around pizza.” This Italian style turnover is created by folding a full size pizza in half. When correctly prepared, the calzone’s outer crust is baked to crispy perfection while the inside filling contains a warm, gooey blend of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses along side an assortment of hearty meats and vegetables. The pizza dough like crust of calzones, traditionally make with yeast, olive oil, water, flour, and salt, makes them wonderfully portable.
