What You'll Need

This is more of a calzone than a stromboli. A stromboli is rolled up, while a calzone is simply folded over, as shown in the video and the written instructions. They're still both delicious and I am a great fan of both. We have a local Italian restaurant that makes incredible calzones, so I have a high target to shoot for when I try to make it at home. I'd definitely include some sausage in the spinach and cheese mixture and, yes, a marinara sauce is almost a given when eating one of these.

In my house, we would have a red sauce to dunk the Stromboli in.

I made it and it definitely needs a pizza sauce to dunk it in.
