About

Making a large calzone is slightly easier—and faster—than creating individual calzones, but if you like, divide the dough into 4 smaller ones. Don’t leave out the pepperoncini, as they give the calzone a spicy, vinegary kick that nicely balances the richness of the sausage.

Method

Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and place a pizza stone on the rack. Preheat the oven to 550°F/290°C (or as high as it will go). Once the oven has reached 550°F/290°C, let the stone continue to heat for 15–30 minutes longer, without opening the door.
