Gluten free calzones stuffed with pizza sauce, cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings are a great snack, dinner, or game day treat! Take one bite of a gluten free calzone and the melted cheese will just ooze out all over.
This gluten free calzone recipe reminds me a lot of homemade gluten free Hot Pockets.
Calzones are easy to hold, and fun to eat. I have finally created a gluten-free calzone recipe that tastes just like the good old days.
This gluten-free calzone recipe takes a little bit of time to make, but if you are patient, you will be rewarded with a delicious crust. (And don't forget the gooey melted mozzarella cheese!)
After the gluten free calzone dough has risen, I take a baseball-sized clump of dough and put it between two pieces of wax paper. This makes it easier to roll out.
And now the fun part. You can add sauce and cheese, salsa and other Mexican toppings, or anything else you can dream up to the inside of your gluten free calzone.
My son wanted salami in his gluten free Hot Pockets.
Fold the dough over and press the edges of your gluten free calzone closed.

The only gluten-free dough I've ever fried with the pillsbury one. I hate to be a bother but I do have another quick question. Do you happen to have a picture of the dough before you actually use it? Like after you incorporate all the ingredients do you have a picture of how it looks? Thanks In advance
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Patricia, I emailed you a few photos. I hope that helps 🙂

How is the consistency of the dough? Is it easy to work with? Does it fall apart? I was using the best gluten free dough from Pillsbury but they stopped selling it where I live.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Patricia, thank you for writing. I found the consistency for this dough to be pretty good. I did have to lightly dust flour over the top (just a tiny bit) so the wax paper wouldn't stick, but overall it was easy to work with. You can also add a tiny bit more flour to make the dough stiffer if you need.
Patricia
Thanks so much for responding. Have to try this recipe this week. One more question. Would this dough stand up to frying?
Sandi Gaertner
You are very welcome. I have never tried to fry gluten free dough so I am not sure how it would stand up. Have you tried it with other gluten free doughs?
