Calzone Q View

[fatback joe]

Homemade crust, layered with provolone, mozzerella, peperoni, and sauce. I put more cheese on the top before folding it up. Temps were around 400 for about 15-20 minutes with a little bit of apple wood for the smoke.

1/2 way done. I opened the door to move them to a lower rack to get more heat.

Done. Didn't do a good job of sealing it up apparently.

This last pic has a real yellow tint to it, and I am not sure why...........didn't do the thing justice. Oh well, it wasn't yellow and tasted great.

Interesting FBJ. Hey that sheet..."Made in.. " well, you know... what's that all about? Like a browning aid?

I think nonstick is the biggest advantage of it. I had put a large pizza stone in the smoker to get it preheated then I was kind of b*tching to my self that I would have to bring the stone back in to transfer the calzones or bring the calzones out and transfer to the stone.............so I said F it and just did it this way. LOL

Here is a link to info on a Silpat for those who don't know and may be interested.

A little H2O or egg wash on the seal or roll an inch or so at a time overlapping as you go from one side to the other. hope this helps.

Trying not to take the bait and run with it

Great looking Zones Joe

Camera looks like it had a hard time with the white balance levels. Maybe the calzone was under some strong lighting and the camera couldn;t figure it out.

Hope you don't mind, I adjusted it for proper white balance. Does this look better? If you want I can delete it.

Nice Calzone...
If my silpat is made in france I will have to toss it when I get home...LOL!

 

[fatback joe]

I don't mind a bit. It looks much better that way. I will have to keep that in mind on future pics. I just point and shoot.........if I get a bad one.......well, then I get a bad one.

 

[fatback joe]

Don't toss it, send it to me.........I don't mind.

Good looking calzones there. If you do not have one of them mats use parchment paper. I use it all the time. I have used it up to as high 350 degree and have had no problem.
