diameter for 2 balls and 8 inches in diameter for 4 balls. Place equal amounts of the eggplant filling over
half of the dough rounds, leaving a 1-inch border.
Brush the border of the dough lightly with water. Fold the dough over the filling and press firmly to seal the
edges. Then make overlapping folds around the edges of the calzone. Use a serrated knife to make three
1-inch slashes on the top of each calzone for the steam to escape. Place on a cornmeal-dusted baker's peel
and transfer to the preheated baking stone, or place on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet and place in the
hot oven.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the dough is baked through and is a deep golden brown. Transfer to a
rack to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Calzones may be served hot or at room temperature. Leftover
calzones should be wrapped in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerated. Re-warm in a 375ºF oven before
serving; microwaving is not recommended.
*The pizza dough recipe may yield more than necessary for these calzones; should you have leftover
dough, it does freeze well. To freeze, wrap airtight in double thickness of plastic wrap.
