After a few attempts we figured it out. An amazing sourdough pepperoni calzone recipe worth the fight. We failed a few times so you don’t have to, just make sure you seal the calzone very well. Or it will open up in the oven and kinda just turn back into a pizza.
Pizza is great, we may be bias, but we can’t deny the greatness of pizza. But when you just need to eat a folded up pizza, this sourdough pepperoni calzone recipe is the one! Loaded with pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce, the secret is the proportions. Not too much but definitely not too little.
