The flaky calzones are delicious and the recipe is very simple! I made them for the first time the other night and they were so good that next time I’ll make a double batch. Have you already tried the baked calzones and on the blog, you will also find pizzaiola calzones. Returning to flaky calzones, you can fill them as you wish based on your personal tastes; this time I included sausage and onion, but if you prefer, you can opt for a Vegetarian version by adding grilled vegetables. Additionally, the step-by-step recipe and video will guide you in executing the recipe.
