There’s nothing quite like biting into a warm calzone filled with the savory goodness of bacon and mushrooms. Every time I prepare this recipe, the aroma alone transports me to my favorite Italian bistro. The blend of crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and melted mozzarella wrapped in a golden crust is simply irresistible.
Pizza Dough: The foundation of your calzone. You can make your own pizza dough, or use store bought pizza dough or bread dough. Bacon: Provides a salty crunch. You can swap with pancetta or turkey bacon for a variation. Olives: Offers a tangy bite. Consider capers or pickled jalapenos as alternatives. Mushrooms: Adds earthiness and depth. Substitute with bell peppers or onions for different flavors. Anchovies (optional): Gives a rich, umami touch. If not a fan, simply omit or replace with capers for a similar salty kick. Mozzarella Cheese: Grants creaminess and a gooey melt. Feel free to use cheddar or provolone as alternatives. Egg: Used for the egg wash to give a golden, glossy finish. Milk or cream can be used if eggs are unavailable. Marinara Sauce (optional): Perfect for dipping and adding extra zest. Substitute with pesto or alfredo for a twist in flavor.
