Well, I searched high and low for the perfect calzone recipe. It had to have enough cheese, the perfect amount of toppings, and had to have a perfect bubble of a calzone. It could not be flat, but had to rise up just perfectly. Well, after so many different options, I found a recipe that seemed like it might work. I gave it a try and now I have made it so many times, I can tell you it will always turn out well!
Just give it a look through, make sure you have the ingredients, and get on it. Your family will thank you for it! Check out what our friends over at Pillsbury had to say about this:
“These football calzones are stuffed with everyone’s favorite Buffalo chicken, and they’re perfect for serving on game day!”
Yep, you can totally shape these into footballs for game day!
Ingredients
2oz Philadelphia cream cheese (1/4 cup), softened
¼ cup Frank’s™ RedHot sauce or red pepper sauce
1 ¼ cups chopped shredded deli rotisserie chicken
¾ cup shredded Kraft mozzarella or Cheddar cheese (3 oz)
1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated Buttermilk biscuits
1 egg
1 tablespoon McArthur milk
2 tablespoons softened Philadelphia cream cheese, for football laces
Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup cream cheese and the sauce until smooth. Mix in chicken and shredded cheese just until combined.
Separate dough into 8 biscuits; cut each crosswise in half with serrated knife for total of 16 biscuit rounds. On work surface, press each half into a 4 1/2-inch circle; add a rounded tablespoon of chicken mixture to center of each circle.
Fold biscuit over filling; press edges with fork to seal. Using pizza cutter or sharp knife, trim forked edges of excess dough to look like football, and place on cookie sheet.
In small bowl, beat egg and milk; brush egg mixture on top of dough. Bake 16 to 19 minutes or until golden brown.
In small, resealable freezer bag, add 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese, and cut small corner from one end of bag. Squeeze 1 line of cream cheese crosswise and 4 lines lengthwise to make laces of football on top of each calzone. Serve warm.
