What is this and how do you make it? I think it's something italian...?

Question

I have been to a party where they have this on a buffet table with a whole bunch of other appetizers. Its a large round or ovalish type of bread and it's stuffed with cheese and some other stuff. To eat it you have to tear off the pieces of bread and dip it in the cheese. It's Soooooo Good! Please help me with the slightest idea!

The reason i think it's italian is b/c it was served at an italian party

Actually, I know what a calzone is, and it's definatley not a calzone!

Answer 1

I don't know if it's the same thing, but my family takes a round loaf of Italian bread and hollows it out. Then you spread a layer of pesto around the inside. After that you continue to layer provolone, sun-dried tomatoes (packed in olive oil), fresh basil leaves, mozzarella,slices of salami,(or any Italian style meat) more pesto....and so on, until you completely fill the bread bowl. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it set overnight. The next day you can either bake it for 30-40 minute at 350 degrees or serve it cold. Use the bread that you removed to eat it - plus another loaf sliced

Answer 2

actually it is called a calzone. It is made with pizza dough and is stuffed with the leftovers from the fridge. Or you can make your own by either making your own pizza dough or using a store-bought pizza dough and sauce (home made or otherwise) and whatever toppings that you choose.. ladle the sauce over one half of the rolled out dough, place your choice of toppings to 1/2 inch away from the edge of the pizza dough. Then brush egg wash (1 beaten egg and a little water) on the outer edge of the dough and pinch or press with a fork until the edge is sealed. Make sure that you have preheated the oven to 450 degrees f. bake for 20 mins. or until internal temp is at least 160 degrees(to ensure it it done and has killed all harmful organisms) or crust is a golden brown. Oregano and cilantro are delicious add inS to make this dish wonderful. send your e-mail address to get a delicious sauce recipe and playful twists on this recipe.

Answer 7

It's called a spinach dip ...the bread is pumpernickle. You cut a hole in the middle of the pumpernickle and put the dip inside it.

You can buy spinach dip at the grocery store. If you can't find any fresh dip, it's usually in the frozen food section.

And you're right...it IS really good. :)
