Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Your Vegetables First 🥒Sauté your kale, mushrooms, peppers, and onions until their moisture evaporates completely, then cool before filling to prevent a soggy calzone and excess liquid leaking during baking.
- Seal the Edges Properly 🔐Wet your fingers with water and press the dough edges firmly together, then crimp with a fork to create an airtight seal that prevents filling from escaping during baking.
- Use the Egg Wash Technique ✨Brush beaten egg or milk on the outside of each calzone before baking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown, crispy exterior with professional-looking shine.
- Perforate Before Baking 🔪Cut 2-3 small slits into the top of each calzone before baking to allow steam to escape gradually, preventing the dough from puffing up too much and splitting.
- Let Dough Rest Between Folds 😴After filling and folding, let your calzones rest for 10-15 minutes before baking so the gluten relaxes and the dough rises evenly for a lighter, airier texture.
