Question?

Would a calzone be considered as a TD entry?

Thanks y’all


Good question!

There's two schools of thought on that, one is the strictly purist viewpoint which it is not pizza, because it doesn't look like a pizza and is more of a turnover.

The other viewpoint is that it IS a type of pizza, as it has the same ingredient profile as pizza(sans sauce), just shaped and put together differently, not unlike a Stromboli, also another kind of pizza.

Our opinion on the matter falls into the latter category, so yes, it is considered pizza - bring it on!

Calzone. A pizza that is a flop. Literally. That’s how I saved my failed pies :laugh:

On a serious note, like Moose said, bring it! :thumb:
 
I have been making some decent pies in the home oven on steel. But my wife doesn't like the lower temp, longer bake times. Our oven only goes to 500. I decided to try the steel plate out in my Emozione. I was shooting for around 600-625F or so. It worked out quite well. It was a shorter cook compared to the home oven, which doesn't dry the rim out near as much. But still get the no flop crunch on the crust from the steel.

I did a white and red pizza, and had a bunch of plated slice pics, but they are all rotating on me, so this is the pic I'm submitting. Basic cheese pizza, mostly sauced underneath the cheese, then I added a few dollops of sauce on top. Cheese combo of WMLM and fresh mozz. Finished post bake with Parmigiano reggiano, basil and EVOO drizzle. 48hr cold ferment dough.
