400-450 degrees, 12-15 minutes, indirect heat, place setter legs down. Two setups I've used:
- PS, legs up, grate on, pizza stone on grate
- PS legs down, cook directly on PS
- Roll out your dough to about the size of a pizza.
- I used the Big Green Egg calzone mold thingamajig, but I'm learning now i could probably easily do without it.
- Spread dough over the calzone mold or just lay it flat on a cutting board.
- Pile all ingredients, starting with the sauce, on one side (see pic below)
- Fold one side of the dough over the other making a half circle.
- Dab some water on your fingers and rub onto the dough where you plan the two ends of the dough to meet. This will help seal the dough together.
- Poke a few small holes or make a small slit in the top of the calzone to all eliminate air pockets.
- Cook for about 12-15 minutes.
- Tip #1: Parchment paper is my new favorite tool. Instead of dusting the stone with flour or anything, I start off cooking the calzones (or pizza) on a sheet of parchment paper. About 3-4 minutes in, I pull the sheet out and discard. The dough has cooked to a point where it's no longer sticky and will freely move around on the stone.
- Tip #2: When using the calzone maker, you'll have small pieces of excess dough come off. Use with olive oil and Parmesan cheese and make little bread stick bites for an appetizer.
