** Pizza came out fine ** URGENT!! Easter pizza help!

post #1 of 5

So, dh's dad used to make traditional italian 'easter pizzas' for his family, and I want to surprise dh by trying to pull some together BUT can't find a similar enough recipe online.  

 

Basically, it's scrambled eggs with cheese and pizza toppings folded inside some pizza dough (like a calzone) - but I'm a bit worried about: what temp to cook at, how long, and how to tell whether it's done or not.  Oh, and do I need to put slits in the top of the dough or do any kind of wash? or not?  Ideas??? 

 

 

 

Here are links to some other recipes that aren't quite just what I need:

 

This seems somewhat similar  (except uses pie crusts and is larger).

 

This also seems similar (but uses biscuit dough, and needs the slits and has an egg wash. . . which makes sense for a biscuit dough).

 

This looks like just what I want (except they use hard boiled eggs, and I'm not planning on doing a homemade dough - I have dough from an italian grocery instead.)

Well if it cooks like a regular calzone it would cook at 450 (preheat the oven for an hour if you are using a pizza stone), not need slits or a wash, and you know it is done when the crust looks brown enough.

But I've never put eggs into a calzone so I can't speak to that specific recipe...but we eat pizza or calzones once a week so I cook 'em often.

Chamomile girl - thanks!  I think a lot of recipes I've found use piecrusts, so probably the tendency to do slits/washes is because of that.  And I'm remembering that most quiche like dishes cook for around an hour at 350 or so, so I'm guessing I'll cook at 400 or 450 for 45-60 minutes and the eggs will come out fine.    

 

 

I am going to be baking them in the next hour. . . anyone else that can step in between now and then with advice that'd be great.

Just in case anyone is interested - I ended up baking at 350 for an hour, and everything turned out fine.  

 

Basically you roll out your pizza dough as if to do a calzone, I laid out sliced provolone cheese first then whatever other ingredients (we did meat/veggie pepperoni with sliced tomatoes tossed with fresh basil & oregano, and then diced peppers with whole basil and kalamata olives), put mozzerella on that then tried to pour 2-3 scrambled eggs over and fold it all really quick to keep the eggs in.  (apparently it's always a messy endeavor with the egg pouring).  They taste fine and are pretty much the recipe I was trying to emulate.  

 

Feel free to make at home.  winky.gif
