Method

  1. 1

    Take the pizza doughs out to thaw well in advance according to the package instructions.

  2. 2

    Divide the pizza dough balls into two parts and shape them by stretching with your hands into round bases (⌀ 16 cm) on baking paper. Use flour for dusting on the bottom if needed. Fill the calzones in two batches so that the dough does not get soggy.

  3. 3

    Spread the pizza sauce on one half of the dough, leaving a couple of centimeters empty at the edges. Add the ham slices, drained pineapple chunks, shredded cheese, and blue cheese crumbles.

  4. 4

    Fold the dough in half into a pocket and pinch the edges tightly closed. Finally, you can smooth the edge with the side of your palm. Sprinkle some flour on top and cut away the excess baking paper around the dough.

  5. 5

    Heat a baking sheet in a 250-degree oven. Bake the calzones in two batches. Transfer the calzones with the baking papers onto the hot baking sheet. Bake slightly below the middle rack for about 10 minutes, until the surface is slightly browned.
