BBQ Calazones » RecipeCollage.com » April 10, 2025 — Mix your favorite pizza toppings in a bowl. We used mozza & cheddar, green pepper, red onion, pepperoni, garlic & mushrooms. Mix in your favorite pizza sauce.
Use your favorite pizza dough recipe or buy store bought. I added spices in with my dough this time.
I make 4 large dough balls. I roll them out, and place a big handful on pizza filling on. I flip dough over, and pinch together.
Place in calazone on pan and let rise again.

Cast iron Collection (August 2019)

We love Cast Iron. Canadian Cast Iron, American Cast Iron, Asian Cast iron. Doesn’t matter where it comes from. I love it. Were not a collector of any certain pieces or names. We don’t want to have 20 of the same pan size either. We do like the old pieces but we like our modern cheapos just the same! We are huge thrift shoppers, we always like a bargain. My husband Tim has only gotten to restore a few older pieces, he loved it. He can not wait to refinish more!

Can you find him?! Where’s Lucky’s? Lol

1TSP Szchewan peppercorns
1/4CUP soy sauce
3TBSP honey
1TBSP sesame oil
1TBSP rice wine vinegar
1TBSP Chinese cooking wine or mirin
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
2TSP fresh ginger, finely minced
1TBSP garlic chili paste more for more spicy or 1TSP chili flakes
1/2TSP Chinese five spice
