Calzone Bake #2 on "Pele"

Recommended Posts

Ok, so here is my 2nd Calzone on "Pele", though I expect my next attempt at a bake will be a deep-dish trying to live up to that epic recent bake done by CKREEF at the Bistro...

The only issue with this one as I've not yet tried attempted to assemble a pizza or calzone directly on a peel is that I didn't have the dough enough towards to top of the parchment paper, allowing it to be centered when I picked up the paper to flip the dough over the topping placed into the bottom half of the dough circle. So not wanting a potential repeat of oozing innards flowing directly onto the baking stone, I slid another piece of parchment paper under to compensate. I didn't bother to trim the paper as I had a few things happening at the same time so in it went.  First shot is 8 minutes into the cook at an indicated 600°F, calzone then rotated 180° for an additional four minutes then pulled out…

That calzone looks delicious. Calzones are on my Friday pizza list.

I hope you don't mind - I took your money shot and tweaked it a little. Mostly the white balance. The crust still looks a little yellow. Editing it on my phone I just couldn't work it out without messing up the rest of the picture.

Well I wasn't thrilled with my first attempt at editing the calzone. After thinking about it I came to the realization I had done the editing steps in the wrong order for that picture so I gave it another attempt. Sort of hard to do when I don't know the exact color of your walls or the board the pizza is sitting on but this one came out a little better.

I hope you don't mind me using your picture to practice my editing skills.

Charles - go for it!  Walls are ivory in color, platter is white.  Complicating (?) the issue are energy saver bulbs throwing light through alabaster colored shades...

Lastly - calzone was brushed with extra virgin olive oil (EVO) before going on Pele for the bake.

Knowing that I guess I came close on my second attempt.

Cool white energy saver bulbs are really hard to get good results. In my dining room (where I take most of my pictures) I've changed over to daylight bulbs. A little funky on the eyes until you get use to them but It definitely improved my pictures.
