Using purchased pizza dough to make one large calzone saves lots of time. lighten up: For a lower-calorie, lower-fat calzone, use part-skim mozzarella.

2 ounces prosciutto slices, chopped

Extra-virgin olive oil

  • This has become our favorite calzone. I use deli ham instead of proscuitto, and I just lay the slices onto the rolled-out dough before topping with the cheese filling.

  • This was a really good, easy weeknight meal. My boyfriend liked it so much we didn't have any leftovers! I used Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza dough and part-skim mozzarella to keep it healthy. Next time I will try adding additional ingredients such as caramelized onions and sun dried tomatoes as other members have suggested.

  • we divided our pizza dough (from trader joes) in 3. This made the crust thin and crispy. We made one with gruyere/swiss & smoked mozz., chanterelles & oyster mushrooms, spinach, and carmelized onions. We made one exactly per the recipe with the goat cheese - distinctly divine. Amazing! best use of a trader joe's pizza dough ;)

  • Super easy and delicious. I ended up adding mushrooms and a tomato based dipping sauce, but would probably add caramelized onions next time too.

  • Incredibly simple to make - the most difficult part was getting the pizza dough out of its tube! You could use bacon or pancetta instead of prosciutto, all taste great. I've added some caramelized onions, which are a great addition. However; I usually don't vary this recipe much, as it's perfect as-is.

  • Terrific and quick week-night meal. We substituted a few items based on what we had in the frig...shrimp in place of ham and we used a mix of goat, manchego and mozzarella (yum). We added fresh basil and rosemary and sundried tomatoes that a reviewer recommended. The garlic and onion suggestion on the crust was awesome.

  • This is delicious and very easy to make! At the suggestion of other reviewers, I added a caramelized onion, though I honestly think it would be delicious with or without the onion. There was so much flavor, we didn't even need the spicy marinara served alongside. Will definitely make this again, and would be confident serving it to guests.

  • Ive made this several times. The past few times I have skimped on the thyme and the recipe was still good! Today I served as the recipe calls w/ thyme ... unbelievable! I also sprinkled powedered garlic on the pizza dough before baking. Absolutely delicious! I recommend mincing the garlic clove instead of pressing.

  • Between the goat cheese and the proscuitto, this was too salty for our taste.

  • Terrific for a VERY quick weeknight dinner ... really stuffs the dough and is quite flavorful. Lots of room to get creative with your favorite cheeses and stuffing ingredients!

  • I followed the directions and it came out great! The only thing is that it's pretty rich. I may make my own crust next time and use a little less cheese.
