While they are traditionally baked, have you ever considered trying a crispy fried version? In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to make crispy fried calzones that will leave your friends and family begging for more.

Gather Your Ingredients

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup warm water
  • Pizza sauce
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fillings of your choice (e.g., cooked sausage, sliced pepperoni, sautéed onions, mushrooms)
  • Oil for frying

Prepare the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the olive oil and warm water.

3. Stir the mixture until a dough forms.

4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Assemble and Fill the Calzones

1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal-sized portions.

2. Take one piece of dough and roll it out into a circle, approximately 8 inches in diameter.

3. Spoon some pizza sauce onto one half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edge.

4. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

5. Add your desired fillings on top of the cheese.

6. Fold the dough over to enclose the filling and press the edges firmly to seal.

7. Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions and fillings.

Fry the Calzones

1. Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.

2. Carefully place the calzones into the hot oil, one at a time. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding the pan.

3. Fry each calzone for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried calzones to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve and Enjoy

1. Allow the fried calzones to cool for a few minutes before serving.

2. Serve the crispy fried calzones with additional pizza sauce for dipping.

3. Enjoy the delightful combination of crispy crust, gooey cheese, and flavorful fillings.

4. Serve them as an appetizer, snack, or alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Now that you know the secrets to making crispy fried calzones, it’s time to head to the kitchen and show off your cooking skills. These tasty treats will surely impress your friends and family, making you the go-to host for Italian-themed gatherings. Enjoy!
