Calzones are traditionally use a ricotta/mozzarella mixture. This is just a stromboli.
Grace Rousseau
Can I make stromboi ahead and freeze them. And bake at another time?
Debbie from Rhodes
Thanks for your question! You could make the calazone and bake it and then freeze them. Once the dough is thawed it cannot be refrozen or it will damage the yeast and it won’t rise. So after freezing just cover them with aluminum foil and put them in a 350 degree oven until it is warmed through. Sometimes the sauce might make the bread a little soggy doing it this way, so you make want to try it beforehand if you’re entertaining. Hope this helps!

I freeze all the time…..I make meat pies, breakfast pies,fruit pies…..anything you can make a hearty pie WITH….except cream! The favorites are….Taco pie, hash brown pie, beef and cabbage pie…..individual pies, being just an old couple, a days cooking(with plenty of breaks) makes a month of meals! Also have chopped up pork chop,leftover baked potatoes mixed with chopped onion and salsa Verdi makes good ones,too!

Such great ideas! You must cook wonderfully! Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!

Your reply interested me, so I looked up the difference. This is FROM Bon APPÉTIT: The major difference between a calzone and a stromboli is how they are folded and sealed before they are BAKED. A calzone is a “TACO”, while a stromboli is a “BURRITO”. Calzones and tacos are folded into a half moon shape. Stromboli and burritos are rolled.

dO YOU NEED TO LET IT RISE BEFORE BAKING?
Debbie from Rhodes
Thanks for your question. Just let it thaw so you can roll it out. Then put the toppings on it and seal it and then I would let it rise for about 30-45 minutes. Hope this helps!

I use this dough for calzones. I Add the sauce to the calzone. I pUt them in my airfRyer, 5 minutes each side. The airfryer seems to make them fluffier.
Debbie from Rhodes
Great to know! I’m going to have to try it this way! Thanks!
Debbie from Rhodes
Thank you for your question! You can certainly use the Loaf of Bread Dough. Thaw and then divide the loaf. One loaf= 12 Dinner Rolls. So you can get 4 calzones out of one loaf of bread dough.

When one fixes say calzonES if i would want to fix and freeze them how would i? Then how would i fix them out of the freezer?
Debbie from Rhodes
Thank you for your question! You will have to assemble and bake them before freezing. After baking, let them completely cool and then wrap them in plastic wrap and I would probably then put them in a ziploc bag. Then when you are ready to serve, let the calzones thaw and rewarm let in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. I would probably cover them with aluminum foil if they are browning more then you want. Hope that helps!
