The Sicilian ''cuddiruni'' or ''cudduruni pizza'' is distantly related to the calzone. This is a dish stuffed with onions (or sometimes other vegetables, such as potatoes or broccoli), [[Anchovies as food|anchovies]], olives, cheese and [[mortadella]]; the rolled pizza dough is folded in two over the stuffing and the edges are sealed before the dish is fried.

===In the United States===
In the [[United States]], especially in [[New York City]], calzoni are typically made from pizza dough and stuffed with meats, cheeses, and vegetables.

Traditional calzone dough, consisting of flour, yeast, olive oil, water, and salt, is kneaded and rolled into medium-sized disks.
Each is then filled with cheeses such as [[ricotta]], [[mozzarella]], [[Parmesan]], [[provolone]] and other traditional vegetables or meats. The dough is then folded in half over the filling and sealed with an egg mixture in a half-moon shape, or is sometimes shaped into a ball by pinching and sealing all the edges at the top. It is then either baked or fried.

In some areas, just before serving, they are topped with [[marinara sauce|marinara]] or another traditional sauce, or with a mixture of garlic, olive oil, and parsley.

Calzone
Simple calzone in an Italian pizzeria, cut in half
TypeFolded pizza, turnover
Place of originItaly
Region or stateSouthern Italy
Main ingredientsRicotta, mozzarella, salami/prosciutto, Parmesan/pecorino

Calzone (UK: /kælˈtsni, -n/, US: /kælˈzn, -zn, -ni/, Italian: [kalˈtsoːne]; pl.: calzoni; 'stocking' or 'trouser')[1] is an Italian oven-baked turnover, made with leavened dough.[2][3] It originated in Naples in the 18th century.[4] A typical calzone is made from salted bread dough, baked in an oven and stuffed with salami, prosciutto or vegetables, mozzarella, ricotta and Parmesan or pecorino cheese, as well as an egg.[4] Different regional variations in or on a calzone can often include other ingredients that are normally associated with pizza toppings. The term usually applies to an oven-baked turnover rather than a fried pastry (i.e. panzerotti), although calzoni and panzerotti are often mistaken for each other.[5][6][7][8][9]

Stromboli, an Italian-American pizza turnover, is similar to calzone, and the two are sometimes confused.[10][11] Unlike strombolis, which are generally rolled or folded into a cylindrical or rectangular shape, calzoni are always folded into a crescent shape, and typically do not contain tomato sauce inside.[12]

In Italy

[edit]

Sandwich-sized calzoni are often sold at Italian lunch counters or by street vendors, because they are easy to eat while standing or walking.[13] Fried versions of the calzone are typically filled with tomato and mozzarella; these are made in Apulia and are called "panzerotti".[14]

In Basilicata, a variety of calzone is known as pastizz or u' pastizz 'rtunnar, which originated between the 18th and 19th century.[15] Pork (or, more rarely, goat meat), eggs and cheese are main ingredients for the filling.

Jewish calsones

[edit]

In the Sephardic Jewish cuisine of Safed and Tiberias, Israel, there is a dish known as calsones (pronounced caltzones). These are pockets similar to ravioli, filled with tzfatit, a sheep's milk cheese produced locally in Safed. The dish is thought to have originated with Jews from Italy and Spain during the post-Inquisition era. These migrating Jews introduced it to Syria and eventually to Israel, where it is traditionally served during the Jewish festival of Shavuot.[16]
