     Oh how amazingly delicious! Left out mushrooms and cabbage (doubled peppers and onions) this time. The dough was perfectly light and flavorful, crisped well in the oven. Next time might try some artichoke -- so many options. This takes about two hours, but the end result is WORTH IT! - 10/25/08

     Fantastic! I ran out of filling about 2/3 of the way through, so make 1.5 times the filling. What a great meal! Served with pasta sauce. Put 1/2 in the fridge and froze the rest. Took me 4 hours total to make a double batch, but totally worth it! I have lunch for a month now. - 8/7/08

     Going to make this in the next few days. Sounds great for freezing with our new vacuum sealer! :o) Amazing how low-cal it is too. - 7/13/08

     Loved the dough, loved the flavor, love the convenience of having ready made lunch. So few calories, fat and sodium for such a great meal. Because of comments I increased quantity of some of the vegetables and added a couple more and came up with 12, but the counts are still great! - 3/6/12

     The crust was yummy. I added parsley, oregano, black pepper to the filling and left out spinach (hubby doesn't like it). I put some pepperoni in hubby. Put artichokes and spinach in my mine. I used only 1/4 cup of filling and was able to make 11 calzones. Extras will be frozen for lunches. - 2/21/11

     Excellent recipe! For those of you wanting to put sauce inside, then it wouldn't be a calzone anymore, it would be stromboli. - 1/25/11
  • MISSYO314
     Sounds great! Will have to try this one soon! - 1/18/11
  • KATBOXJANITOR
     Intriguing....I wonder how well the recipe divides up.
    14 servings of the same dish is a bit much for moi. - 1/17/11

  • IAMDESSIE
     Delicious with the mushrooms - 1/17/11
  • DKELLEY35
     This sounds scrumptious, I'm definitely going to try it. I think I'll add some diced chicken and leave out the mushrooms(allergic) - 1/17/11

  • TIAMET2
     Has anyone put tomato sauce inside the calzone? It would taste good but would it make the whole thing too soggy?

     Calzones for UNDER 200 CALORIES, mateys! How good can it get?!? - 1/17/11
  • BECBUD
     When making my recipe for calzone, to save time and energy, I usually make 1 large calzone on a baking sheet and cut into individual servings. With 5 kids, that's just easier for me. We already had calzones on the menu for this week, so if nothing else, I'm going to make the dough this way! - 1/17/11
