2 stuffed pizza pockets
1 thick crust 14"
1 Chicago style deep dish 13-14"
6 individual 6"
or 25 individual calzones
Comments:
Great for stuffed pizzas and deep fried calzones as well as regular pizzas. various herbs can
be added ie oregano, basil, tarragon, fennel etc... BE sure to ground the leaves of the herb to
a powder before adding so you will get subtle all over herb flavoring. Two tsp of pulverized
herbs is plenty.
