Stromboli and calzone are terms describing 2 very similar pizza-like dishes. For stromboli, dough is layered with fillings and rolled up lengthwise as tightly as possible and the edges are pinched to seal. For calzones, dough is cut into rectangles, fillings are placed on one half of the rectangle, and the dough is folded in half over the filling. The edges are sealed before baking. Pepperoni and mozzarella cheese make delicious fillings for both dishes, and this Pepperoni Stromboli recipe is mouth-watering.
