Ingredients

For the filling:

3 pounds fresh rhubarb, sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 pints fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For the dough:

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 prepared pizza dough rounds, about 4 ounces each
1/2 cup crystal sugar
1 tablespoon anise seed
1 egg, beaten with splash water

Directions

Add all the filling ingredients to a sauce pot and bring up to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes and let cool. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Lightly flour a cutting board and roll out each dough to approximately 8-inches in diameter. Sprinkle on sugar and anise seed and gently roll into dough to incorporate. Turn over (sugar side down) and fill with 1/2 cup filling, brush sides with egg wash and fold over and seal using pie crust fold. Pierce the top with a fork and bake in preheated oven until medium brown. Let cool and serve.

ugh
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

cooking rhubarb for 5 minutes and even baking it afterwards does not soften it to make it edible. not to mention that the... juice created from the fruit and sugar made these "calzones" leak so much in the oven that they ruined my new baking sheet. what a mess! this recipe needs a thorough re-vamping.Read more

Great recipe family loved it
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

recipe made about 8 calzones for me . I used pilsberry thin crust pizza crust. The filling was great by itself as well,and ... add some good ice cream to either the sauce or the calzone and it would be even better.Read more

Bread and jelly
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I followed the directions for this recipe exactly to the T, I even made my own pizza dough. It looked like a great calzone... but I did not care for the fruit combination. It tasted more like bread and jelly to me. I will leave calzones to a more savory fare.Read more

Satisfied in Sacramento
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've done this a number of times now for family parties. A pinch of sugar and cinnamon in the dough makes it just that much... more scrumptious. I've also had great success making these as mini calzones. Great for All levels of chefs.Read more
