Pepperoni Pizza Calzone

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Cakes and Desserts
Although pepperoni is an American invention, it descends from spicy Italian salamis. In this calzone, the spicy fat from the pepperoni renders out during baking, infusing the tomato filling and dough. A truly juicy, bold dish for spice lovers.
