Not your usual red tomato sauce calzone. This recipe came from my mother who had clipped it out of a magazine eons ago. This has been a family favorite since I can remember! With simple alterations to recipe, I'm sure you can add any of your favorite ingredients!

10 Calzones (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 2/3 cups ricotta cheese
10 ounces boneless ham, chopped
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (more or less for taste)
2 loaves frozen bread dough, thawed and risen
vegetable oil

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375.
2
Stir ricotta cheese, ham, mozzarella cheese, and pepper until well blended.
3
Take each loaf of bread and either tear or cut into five pieces.
4
Flatten each piece of bread into a 5" circle.
5
(This part is tricky and with practice, it gets easier. I usually just use my hands to stretch the dough into a circle).
6
Place about a 1/4-1/2 C filling in center of bread and fold to one side.
7
Seal edges together by squeezing.
8
Place calzones on cookie sheets and brush with vegetable oil.
9
Cook for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
10
Enjoy!

Made for Freezer Tag 2008, Ham Calzone, “Ham Calzones”, Since I live in Denmark, frozen dough is not an option, Danes pride themselves on making things from scratch, so I made my usual Calzone dough, from “Easy Calzone Dough (Bread Machine)”. Followed the filling recipe exactly, and what a wonderful filling. First batch I filled with the ham, second batch filled with Italian sausage, mushrooms, and black olives. I had made a double batch, thinking there would be plenty to freeze. Think again. Just shows how good it was. I froze them wrapped individually in plastic wrap and placed them in a plastic bag. I also put about 1/3 cup of pasta sauce in sandwich sized ziploc bags and put them in with the calzones. I tried reheating a couple of ways--the best was to wrap it in a paper towel and put it in the microwave on defrost for 2-3 minutes and then on high for another 2-3 minutes. You do loose the fresh bread / crust, but the filling is still wonderful. Thank you for posting.

These were very good. I used Homemade Buns for the dough so mine were whole wheat. I also used a little less ricotta and a little more mozzarella. These would be good with all sorts of fillings. I made 14 calzones and was able to get three meals out of it. Thanks.

These would be great to take along on a picnic, or to pack for lunches. I changed the amounts a bit so I could just use what I had on hand, using more ham and less ricotta. Also, I added quite a bit more crushed red pepper, along with some Italian seasoning, and brushed with an egg wash prior to baking. We really enjoyed these and they are a nice change from those including tomato sauce. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Absolutely wonderful taste if you love ricotta like I do (if not, it can be a bit much). I had some trouble with these getting soggy on the bottom (my first attempt at any kind of calzone), and after reading some ideas, I might try putting some slits or fork holes on top for steam escape, may try a little cornmeal on cookie sheet, and will definitely remove and put on cooling racks right away. Still, the recipe itself is truly delicious and such a treat! Thank you for posting this great recipe that I will make again (and freeze some, too).
