A calzone (in Italian "stocking" or "trouser" or "drooping sack" or "hanging fold"), sometimes referred to as an italian sac, is an Italian turnover made from pizza dough and stuffed with cheese (usually mozzarella cheese and Ricotta, but some varieties contain Parmesan, Provolone, or a locally substituted cheese), ham or salami, vegetables, or a variety of other stuffings. It often contains an egg, the yolk of which should be runny. It is typically served with marinara sauce on the side for dipping, or topped with garlic and parsley infused olive oil. The dough is folded over, sealed on one edge, salted, then fried.Sandwich-sized calzone are often sold at Italian lunch counters or by street vendors because they are easy to eat while standing or walking.
