Calzone Closed Pizza - recipe with photo

Calzone Closed Pizza

I recommend preparing calzone — a version of closed pizza. The combination of soft dough and juicy, aromatic filling makes this dish incredibly delicious. You can choose any ingredients for the filling, including sweet options, and replace mozzarella with any other cheese grated on a medium grater.
