Cooking Hacks:
- Grate the lemon zest when using lemon in a recipe. There is tons of bright flavor in the peel. Just make sure you only get the yellow part not the white part because its bitter. I call this my free ingredient.
- Leave pizza dough out on the counter for an hour and it will be super easy to work with and won’t bounce back.
- Dinosaur kale is a bushy cooks happiness. This type of kale you can eat the steam so you can skip the step of de-steaming it like regular kale.
- Make double and freeze for a busy week. You can either make double of the cheesy kale mixture and freeze in ziplock or cook extra calzones and freeze the whole meal. You can freeze for 6 months and frost in fridge overnight. If you are defrosting a cooked calzone. After defrosted place in oven a 350 for 15 minutes to reheat.
3 Tips For the Pizza Dough:
- Buy your dough from your favorite pizzeria to support local business and make life easier on you.
- Let the dough sit out for at least an hour so when you work with it the dough will shape the way you want it.
- One pizza dough makes 4 calzones. so you have enough for the family!
