Sweet and Savory Baby Calzones

“This is perfect bachelor food,” my friend Josh said as we broke for lunch during our work date (note to freelancers/starter-uppers: having a work date with others in the same non-office boat is the perfect way to combat working-from-home loneliness). “Simple ingredients, minimal technique and maximum results. I would totally make this.”

There you have it. Straight from the freelancing bachelor’s mouth.

Note: Feel free to go all-savory or all-sweet, if you’re so inclined.

  • ingredients
  • flour for rolling and for pan Pantry
  • 1/2 recipe pizza dough (about 1/2 pound dough) $1.50
  • 4 tbsp prepared olive tapenade $4
  • 4 tbsp preserves of your choice (I recommend strawberry or fig) $4
  • 8 tbsp ricotta (preferably whole milk) $3.50 for 15 oz.
  • extra virgin olive oil for brushing Pantry
Total Cost of Ingredients $13

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly flour a baking sheet and set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll the dough out until it is about 1/8” thick. Use a small bowl, large glass or cookie cutter to cut the dough into 8 4” circles (feel free to go slightly larger or smaller).

Place 1 tbsp of the tapenade on one half of 4 of the circles. Do the same with the preserves on the remaining 4 circles. Place 1 tbsp of ricotta next to each spoonful of tapenade or preserves.

Fold the dough rounds in half to form a little calzone. Tuck the ends from underneath the bottom half of the dough over the top half, as on a regular-size calzone. Pinch gently to seal.

Arrange the calzones on the prepared baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown (don’t worry if a little filling seeps out while baking).

Serve warm.

Makes 8 small calzones (serves 2-4).

Calzones are packed with different flavors depending on what the customer wants. While pizza is mostly famous for being a savory dish, it’s not the same with calzones. Calzones can be stuffed with almost any flavor and nature of any kind. Hence, there are delicious calzones you’ll find with sweet and savory insides.
