How to prep calzones #cookingvideo by @cooksmarts
Calzones are a wonderful Italian creation.

They’ve got a crispy exterior, followed by a soft doughiness, and then oozing melty cheese and whatever yummy fillings you desire in the middle.

And they don’t just have to be creations of pizza parlors. You can easily make your own calzones at home using some store bought dough (or for the bakers out there, just use your favorite pizza dough recipe – and share it with us in the comments, please!).

Calzones were on a recent game day themed meal plan menu, and they were such a huge hit with our members, we wanted to share how to make them with everyone.

Our latest video shows you just how easy it is to prep your own calzones at home!
