TOFU AND CHEESE CALZONE RECIPE

A calzone is an italian oven baked folded pizza. I often bake these calzones at home with different toppings and it turns really perfect. This time I have added tofu to my calzones. You can add paneer instead of tofu in this recipe. You can add any toppings as per your choice.I used my fool proof pizza dough to make these perfect calzones. If you have store bought pizza sauce in your hand then just mix all ingredients in a pan saute for few minutes and use it as filling. Sounds very easy right.

I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you.
