Step 1

Prepping and Freezing:

Step 2

Dough time: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Drizzle in olive oil and yogurt, then gradually add water until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Divide and rest: Divide the dough into 10-12 equal portions and roll each into a thin circle, about 4-5 inches in diameter.

Step 4

Get filling: Spoon your chosen filling onto each dough circle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.

Step 5

Seal the deal: Fold the dough circle in half over the filling, crimping the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 6

Freeze it up: Arrange the uncooked calzones on the prepared baking sheet without touching. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until solid. Transfer to freezer-safe bags for long-term storage.

Step 7

Cooking in the Toaster Oven:

Step 8

Thaw (optional): If frozen, thaw the calzones overnight in the refrigerator or under cold running water.

Step 9

Brush and bake: Preheat your toaster oven to the highest setting. Brush the calzones with the egg wash (optional) for a golden crust.

Step 10

Crispy time: Arrange the calzones on the prepared baking sheet and cook for 15-20 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Step 11

Calzone fiesta! Let the calzones cool slightly, then enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces.

Step 12

Tips:

Step 13

Get creative with your fillings! Choose your favorite pizza toppings or experiment with new combinations.

Step 14

For a thicker crust, let the dough rise for 30 minutes before assembling the calzones.

Step 15

If the dough becomes too sticky while rolling, lightly dust it with flour.

Step 16

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster oven or on the stovetop.
