Have you guys ever tried making cracker dough? It takes 2 days to make. It ferments for two days. It comes out super airy and flaky. Drop some corn meal on the griddle..it basically suspends your pizza/calzone above the surface giving it the perfect crunch. In California, Me n Ed's pizza and Shakeys use this dough. Me N Ed's uses the corn meal with a traditional brick over while Shakeys uses a Spiral air oven. Ever since I subscribed to this channel, I geek out on food.
Thank you so much for watching!! No! We haven’t! That is awesome!! For sure throwing down cornmeal would have been excellent! Love the idea of crackers - we’ll have to develop a solid recipe!!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Hey fam!! Thank you so much! Lol, right?! I honestly can’t think of a time I’ve ever given a thumbs down on a video on RUclips, but, to each their own - I guess it means enough people watch us that we got a cuppa-haters!🔥🔥🤙🤙.Take care brother!
when stretching out dough, what I do is what I learned at a pizza shop I used to work at. before the dough rises its best to separate the dough balls for each pizza on a tray 3-4 inches apart with a little oil on top and covered in plastic wrap and set aside to rise. after the dough is done rising, place the dough "ball" on a flowered or cornmeal surface, take the bottom part of your hands and push the dough out one hand wax the other wax off so you push the dough out in separate direction and rotate the dough in this motion. (you can do this to stretch out the entirety of the dough) but if you want to do it the "pizzeria" way, after it is spread out enough to fit both your fists, this is where you stretch out the dough the rest of the way. flour both fists, and the motion I was told is "Fist around the wrist" you take your dominant hand and pull out and down a couple inches, then take your non dominant hand and slide it under your dominant hand, then move out and down again. the dough should roll around your fists increasing in size as you go. another way is to roll both your wrists as you pull , it does the same thing but can be a bit tricky to get the knack of.
As Brett was cutting the dough in half, all I could hear was my mom in the background yelling, “ok Scott, you cut it in half, then your brother gets to choose which piece he wants. That will keep you honest.” 😂😂
Looks awesome, for the dough on the sides push it up against the sides or back of the griddle to brown them up. Most people forget you can use the side or back walls to cook also.
I brush mine with some garlic butter before I take it off just for another layer of flavor. You guys are correct, you can add a lot more in the middle, the dough will stretch, you could also cut a little less dough and still get good amount inside so it will cook faster. BRAVO! GENTS BRAVO!
Thank you so much! Definitely our first try and we didn’t want to get it wrong - thank you for the insight! We’ll stuff them for sure next time! And yes, we talked scout garlic butter spread on it too!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Wahoo!! Much love fam!! Thank you so much!! These were so good! Even with the sauce (which we’ve been told doesn’t go in calzones...😜)! Take care and Happy New Year!🔥🔥
I have a 2 burner Blackstone I take camping with me and just made this. Awesome recipe guys!!!!!!! Keep the cooks coming......I think you have something here with your channel.....I just subscribed😃😃
Wow! Thank you so much watching and for chiming in! You are so awesome!! We loved these Calzones, and we love cooking on the Blackstone! Much love and GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Just a suggestion. Pack it with a lot more meet and cheese. Don’t put a lot of veggies in it and leave out the pizza sauce. This will allow the bread to cook faster and won’t get soggy. Use the pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Yes!! Thank you so much for the tip! We wanted to see if we could do it - which we are so happy that we can, but for sure we’ve learned that (aside from the restaurant we borrowed the idea from), sauce doesn’t go in the calzone. Take care man!🤙🤙
Always great. Videos and good food we will be back at it just had some things going on I appreciate all the support all this time through our ups and downs of our channel our inconsistencies yet y'all still support
@@waltwins that's for sure truly appreciate u guys check out my community post I'll be on Instagram doing something at 2pm Pacific time if you are free
Nice! I would suggest less sauce (dip it in sauce later) , more filler ingredients + low moisture (moisture is the enemy here) ricotta cheese, more garlic, basil, oregano, parmesan/asiago cheese and a light dusting of cornmeal for the griddle part. Secondly, as they firm up enough chuck them in the air fryer to get the side dough cooked more evenly.
Yes! Thank you so much man - we more just wanted to see if we could do it, but for sure could use these tips! Thank you, I’m definitely hanging on to this for next time!!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Here's another comment for the algorithm to add some advice for calzones. Use less sauce (some people even use no sauce) and more cheese. They still came out great either way!
Thank you man!! Honestly, I wondered about that! I once had an amazing calzone with cheese and meat, and then I topped it with marinara and Alfredo sauce. It sticks out as my all time fave! Take care man!🤙🤙
Guys I’m binge watching you’re videos. I do a lot of camping with my family and recently bought the 22” black stone to keep in my RV. The one the I usually dread about camping is preparing the menu which always seems to be same same ol same ol. With the new griddle and all your recipes I’m looking forward to some new meals. Thanks a bunch.
Oh yay!! I think honestly that’s what surprised us the most when we started in the Blackstone - many of the videos we saw were the same things - we wanted to see if there was anything we couldn’t do! So far the answer is “nope!”😜😜. We just love how simple and successful each of the cooks is! So good!! Thank you so much for watching and for all of the support! GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥
I'll have to try this with my homemade Chicago-Style pizza dough. It rolls out very thin and I believe would cook quickly enough to work well on the Blackstone.
@@waltwins maybe pre-cooking the veggies helps prevent a blow out? Just a guess, since I've never made them. I have faith you'll figure out the best way😁
Calzones are normally baked in a pizza over, not fried. Calzones usually are loaded with ricotta cheese too. You should have tried making one of them in the Air Fryer and compare them both. Calzone Lover....
I love the versatility of the griddle!! Can’t wait to get mine. The only thing I would do different is do a olive oil garlic sauce inside and dip my calzone into the red sauce. Happy Griddling!!!
Oh heck yes!! We recognize this is more “Stromboli” like - dipping in marinara and even Alfredo sauce afterward would be epic!! Take care - we can’t wait for you to get your griddle!!🔥🔥🤙🤙
WOW! I can smell those Calzones from here! The only thing missing on those calzones are my teeth marks...This cook is best one so far this year. And thank you for brightening up my day as always.
Yes! In many places this is the case - we took a nod from a local restaurant that puts sauce inside. I could go either way, it was still delicious! Take care fam!🔥🔥
Oh yes, that sounds amazing!! We wanted to see how they would turn out - now we need to get better at them - so good!! Take care and thank you so much for watching!🤗🤗
Thank you! We got the inspiration from a local restaurant (which had sauce inside) - for sure next time sauce out - we aren’t big fans of the ricotta. Take care fam!🤙🤙
Thank you so much for watching!! We typically use vegetable oil for most cooks. When we have it, we’ll use peanut oil for shallow frying, and olive oil for many cooks as well. I’ve also really liked using avocado oil, but roughly 80% of our cooks are with veggie.🤙🤙
Brethren! Just finished my very first Blackstone Griddle cook! (Did my 1st seasoning earlier) OH MY GOODNESS! Smash burgers! 🍔 That was the most delicious homemade burger I have ever had AND one of the most delicious burgers I have ever had, period. Wow! Followed your video of Smashburger 2.0. Thank you! 🙏
Wahoo!! Yes!!! So happy that you finally got to make your own - it’s a game change for sure!! Can’t wait to hear scout the other fantastic cooks you throw down. Feels so good to officially say... GRIDDLE ON FAM!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Haha! Thank you so much Kay!! Yes! We love the sign - it was a gift from my wife and kiddos.🤗 I love Diet Mtn Dew fan but otherwise our house is split - most love Coke but we have some Pepsi fans as well!😄😄
Happy New Year!!! Love the new sign! Calzones and pizza may be on the top of my favorite foods, so definitely a good way to start 2021! Even though you didn't stuff them like crazy, they looked really good. It actually probably made them easier to cook on both sides, because calzones are never actually flipped. A store called WinCo near us makes them fresh to cook at home, and they are packed full of goodies (like when I say packed, I mean enough pepperoni for a 28" pizza packed. I usually just made them at home until WinCo, but it's just easier to let them make 'em. Anyway, Calzones aren't supposed to have tomato sauce inside, you just dunk them in marinara; but I am with you guys, I love sauce, so inside sounds good to me. I love how pizza sauce and cheese melt together too, and you can't get that without sauce inside. So any inside sauce haters out there can just zip it! Griddle on!
Thank you so much man! Yes! I prefer a ton of sauce, but mostly for “dunking” the calzone in - this one is actually inspired by a local Italian restaurant in Gainesville FL, that does put sauce inside. We hope led it would help with the heat inside - and it worked well!! Much love fam!!🤙🤙
Ohhhhh I love pizza and calzones! I especially love that new fridge :) I always worry about dough cooking all the way through and it looks like you guys nailed it! Now I'm wanting not just a pizza, but a Calzone! I may just have to make some TODAY! Awesome guys, as always! Cheers, my brothers!
Yes!! So much of what I edited out was me saying “man, I don’t think the dough is cooked through!” And Brett saying, “trust me, it’s going to cook through, you gotta trust it!” 🤣🤣
Looks amazing. This is my sons and my next dinner cook. I can’t tell you enough how tasty that looks. We will be doing a Buffalo chicken calzone . Wish us luck.
Lol, someone just asked the same question, but if we started in the air fryer and finished on the griddle - I’m sure it would be amazing!! We will give it a try for sure!! Take care!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Great video 😊. Love the instruction. I don't know if anyone has said this, but it helps if you make sure that your sauce isn't too close to the edge when you're pinching it closed. If it is the edge doesn't seal properly, and your cheese and other stuffing can come out. Also as much as I love Hawaiian pizza, it doesn't translate well to calzone. The pineapple has too much juice and tends make it soggy.
Amazing cook as always guys! Love it! You can really cook anything on that griddle. You really take it to the test. Great to hear. Did you guys do anything big for New Years? Hope you had a good time. Have a great Sunday and God bless! Griddle On my friends!!
Thank you so much fam! This was such a fun one to do! It was a relatively quiet New Year celebration - Brett was at home with our aunt and cousin, I was here with the wife and kiddos - most fell asleep before midnight. 😄😄. Take care!!
Thank you so much for watching! Just something we are used to doing - never thought of doing this - the oil is more to ensure the dough doesn’t stick on the first flip, we could have had some already down, just wasn’t a thought. Take care!🤙🤙
Happy new years my brothers Hey my awesome friend the funniest UNFUNNY guy is in the house showing support and dropping off a huge new Jersey USA size like have a philnominal day smile and laugh often be safe
Phil!! Thank you so much man - Happy New Year to you and your family! We hope all is well with you, and that you continue to make people smile. Much love!🤙🔥🔥🔥
I'm starting to think I shouldn't have got a blackstone......I haven't got my grill yet, and my wife has a list of things to make. Add another one. thanks guys...keep making the great videos!
Publix dough is hard to work with. Full of gluten. Very simple to make your own pizza dough. 500g 00 flour 280g water Instant yeast 3/4 tsp Salt to taste Kitchenaid mixer with dough hook for 7-8 mins on level 2 Cut into 3 dough balls and put in Tupperware overnight. Let warm to room temp prior to using. Good luck.
Also, a little tip on your merchandise, you should feature it better. For example, start your videos without the aprons off. Show the shirts while you intro the video and feature the ingredients. Then before you start cooking, mention you are grabbing your official Waltwin’s apron and it will draw people to both your shirts and aprons.
Boom. Yes! We have been “shy” about pushing our merch, mainly because it was something we mulled over for so long, but we totally need to get better at it - it’s always easier for us to promote the cooks and other products, but we get sheepish when it comes to our own stuff. Thank you so much for the honest feedback fam!🤙🤙🔥🔥
@@waltwins that’s why I’m saying to show the shirts in the intro. It lets people see something cool but you don’t have to push it like a used car salesman. 😂😂 Either way, as a third party observer, I can tell you, your pitch on your merch does not come off as gratuitous. If it ever seems pushy, I’ll let you know. 😀👍
Man, those look AMAZING!! I never would have thought you could cook dough on the BS, but after watching this video it makes perfect sense. Another FANTASTIC cook in the books Boys!!!! #DOUGHRAYME #CANNONSTRONG
Wahoo!! I gotta say, I love that you have a BS now - we cannot wait to brainstorm more with you! In fact, Brett and I just got done shooting 7 more vids, and we remembered we gotta get a live in with our Patreon peeps! Let’s do a virtual hangout in the next week or so!!🤙🤙 #VIRTUALFORNOWINPERSONLATER
Wow! Another one for me to try! 😉. My family it seems has loved me a little more since the Blackstone came! 😂. They are eating so well! Love the Coca Cola sign! And BTW, I have ordered a Waltwins hooded sweatshirt! 😊🥳🤗
Awww!! Lisa! You are seriously the best!! Thank you so much for all of the love and support - we are so happy that you are part of the amazing griddle nation! Much love to you and your family. Happy NEW Year and GRIDDLE ON!🤗🤗
Looks great! Just got a Blackstone for Christmas and am loving it so far. Just curious, you were worried about the sides not cooking. Could you have pushed the calzone against the edge of the griddle to get it to brown some?
Thank you so much for watching, and congratulations on the new Blackstone! Yes! In fact, we should have been utilizing the sides for this reason - it’s something we for sure need to get better at - the whole surface, including the sides - are great for cooking! Take care and GRIDDLE W!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Thank you so much for watching! We talked scout it, and we think it could! We just wanted to try first on the griddle top, but someone for sure will try in the future. Take care!!🤙🤙
No, we aren’t fans of ricotta cheese, and we have been told that without it, it’s Stromboli? However, there is an Italian place across from Brett who sells them this way, in fact, they tell people that don’t put ricotta in theirs.😋 Thank you so much for watching Maria! Griddle on sister!!!😁🤙❤️
Hey man! Thank you so much for watching! We ended up cooking total time (approx) 15 minutes. For sure you don’t need a hood, it just helps speed it up - some use a dome as well, and we’ve even used a wok lid to cover foods. Hope this helps!🤙🤙
If you noticed during the video, we actually started to pull the hood down. Honestly, it didn’t seem to make a difference. We could have to keep the top side hot, but not sure how much it would have impacted the overall cook. I will for sure do it next time though to see if there is a difference! Take care James!😄😄
No pizza comment, but you keep commenting about the fact that "Even on Low, my Blackstone cooks pretty hot". For starters, perhaps you could put some kind of regulator valve on it to regulate the pressure of the gas coming in. That would allow you to tweak it for a true "Low" temp you may be looking for, and let her rip when you want a good hot cook.
Thank you so much - it actually has a good leave for us, but unfortunately we tried too many different ways to explain the exact temp and cook zones and it still seems to confuse people - for sure a regulator would help. Thank you for watching and for the suggestion!🤙🤙
Hello!! Thank you so much for watching! Yes! Can’t believe we didn’t talk about it! Ours was out of the fridge rising for about an hour. Hope this helps!! Take care!😄😄
Thank you so luv for watching! We are very fortunate - it’s been 80 degrees the last few days! We have a “cold” front coming in the next could of days - but we’ll still be much warmer than Illinois! Hope the weather warms some to be able to cook soon🤙🤙🔥🔥
Great cook brothers! Loved it. 👊👊👊
Woot woot!! Thank you so much fam!!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Looking good as always boys!
Thank you so much fam!! This one was so good! We can’t wait to get better at cooking this one!🤙🤙
Have you guys ever tried making cracker dough? It takes 2 days to make. It ferments for two days. It comes out super airy and flaky. Drop some corn meal on the griddle..it basically suspends your pizza/calzone above the surface giving it the perfect crunch. In California, Me n Ed's pizza and Shakeys use this dough. Me N Ed's uses the corn meal with a traditional brick over while Shakeys uses a Spiral air oven. Ever since I subscribed to this channel, I geek out on food.
Thank you so much for watching!! No! We haven’t! That is awesome!! For sure throwing down cornmeal would have been excellent! Love the idea of crackers - we’ll have to develop a solid recipe!!🤙🤙🔥🔥
What's up with the thumbs downs? Even if you don't think it's a good idea, these dude crush it. Keep up the great work twins.
Hey fam!! Thank you so much! Lol, right?! I honestly can’t think of a time I’ve ever given a thumbs down on a video on RUclips, but, to each their own - I guess it means enough people watch us that we got a cuppa-haters!🔥🔥🤙🤙.Take care brother!
Another great video. I love calzones. I know what I’m making latter this week.
Yes!! These were so fun and amazing!! We love how well the cooked on the Blackstone too!! Take care fam!🤙🤙

(you can do this to stretch out the entirety of the dough) but if you want to do it the "pizzeria" way, after it is spread out enough to fit both your fists, this is where you stretch out the dough the rest of the way. flour both fists, and the motion I was told is "Fist around the wrist" you take your dominant hand and pull out and down a couple inches, then take your non dominant hand and slide it under your dominant hand, then move out and down again. the dough should roll around your fists increasing in size as you go. another way is to roll both your wrists as you pull , it does the same thing but can be a bit tricky to get the knack of.
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to explain this method! I saved the process - this is so good! Thank you for searching fam!!🔥🔥🤙🤙
I will remember this one
Yay!! It was so good. 🤗🤗
As Brett was cutting the dough in half, all I could hear was my mom in the background yelling, “ok Scott, you cut it in half, then your brother gets to choose which piece he wants. That will keep you honest.” 😂😂

WOW! I can smell those Calzones from here! The only thing missing on those calzones are my teeth marks...This cook is best one so far this year. And thank you for brightening up my day as always.
Haha!! Thank you so much for watching man and yes, definitely the best cook of the year... so far!!😜🔥🔥🤙🤙
Where I'm from in Wisconsin, the sauce is Always served on the side!
Yes! In many places this is the case - we took a nod from a local restaurant that puts sauce inside. I could go either way, it was still delicious! Take care fam!🔥🔥
Great video. Have you done a philly steak calzone? It’s delicious!!!
Oh wow!! That is next level stuff!! It’s totally going on the list!!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Going on my list of ‘To Tries’ I will be adding ricotta cheese and meatballs to mine as additional 😁
Oh yes, that sounds amazing!! We wanted to see how they would turn out - now we need to get better at them - so good!! Take care and thank you so much for watching!🤗🤗
Calzones have mozz ricotta and tops .strombole mozz sauce and tops
Thank you! We got the inspiration from a local restaurant (which had sauce inside) - for sure next time sauce out - we aren’t big fans of the ricotta. Take care fam!🤙🤙
I get so hungry watching your videos! Thanks! What type of oil do you usually use for cooks such as this and the friend rice?
Thank you so much for watching!! We typically use vegetable oil for most cooks. When we have it, we’ll use peanut oil for shallow frying, and olive oil for many cooks as well. I’ve also really liked using avocado oil, but roughly 80% of our cooks are with veggie.🤙🤙
Brethren! Just finished my very first Blackstone Griddle cook! (Did my 1st seasoning earlier) OH MY GOODNESS! Smash burgers! 🍔 That was the most delicious homemade burger I have ever had AND one of the most delicious burgers I have ever had, period. Wow! Followed your video of Smashburger 2.0. Thank you! 🙏
And we used Uncle Steve’s Shake for seasoning! Incredible! We used the Competition COW POWder.
Wahoo!! Yes!!! So happy that you finally got to make your own - it’s a game change for sure!! Can’t wait to hear scout the other fantastic cooks you throw down. Feels so good to officially say... GRIDDLE ON FAM!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Wahoo!! Love the seasoning!!
Facebook photos or it didn't happen...would love to see Bro
Guess what I want for dinner? Those look amazing. Glad it is going on the truck. Love the sign but it needs to be Pepsi.
Haha! Thank you so much Kay!! Yes! We love the sign - it was a gift from my wife and kiddos.🤗 I love Diet Mtn Dew fan but otherwise our house is split - most love Coke but we have some Pepsi fans as well!😄😄
Happy New Year!!! Love the new sign! Calzones and pizza may be on the top of my favorite foods, so definitely a good way to start 2021! Even though you didn't stuff them like crazy, they looked really good. It actually probably made them easier to cook on both sides, because calzones are never actually flipped. A store called WinCo near us makes them fresh to cook at home, and they are packed full of goodies (like when I say packed, I mean enough pepperoni for a 28" pizza packed. I usually just made them at home until WinCo, but it's just easier to let them make 'em. Anyway, Calzones aren't supposed to have tomato sauce inside, you just dunk them in marinara; but I am with you guys, I love sauce, so inside sounds good to me. I love how pizza sauce and cheese melt together too, and you can't get that without sauce inside. So any inside sauce haters out there can just zip it! Griddle on!
Thank you so much man! Yes! I prefer a ton of sauce, but mostly for “dunking” the calzone in - this one is actually inspired by a local Italian restaurant in Gainesville FL, that does put sauce inside. We hope led it would help with the heat inside - and it worked well!! Much love fam!!🤙🤙
Ohhhhh I love pizza and calzones! I especially love that new fridge :) I always worry about dough cooking all the way through and it looks like you guys nailed it! Now I'm wanting not just a pizza, but a Calzone! I may just have to make some TODAY! Awesome guys, as always! Cheers, my brothers!
Yes!! So much of what I edited out was me saying “man, I don’t think the dough is cooked through!” And Brett saying, “trust me, it’s going to cook through, you gotta trust it!” 🤣🤣
Looks amazing. This is my sons and my next dinner cook. I can’t tell you enough how tasty that looks. We will be doing a Buffalo chicken calzone . Wish us luck.
Yay. Thank you so much for watching and for sharing! Good luck - Buffalo chicken sounds so good! GRIDDLE ON!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Would be interested to see how it would turn out if you started it on the flat top and finished in the air fryer.
Lol, someone just asked the same question, but if we started in the air fryer and finished on the griddle - I’m sure it would be amazing!! We will give it a try for sure!! Take care!🤙🤙🔥🔥
These look awesome! I will definitely be trying this! I'm guessing it would be good to use a dome since I don't have a hood to help these cook?
Woot woot!! Thank you so much man!! Yes! The dome would work perfectly for this!🔥🔥
I think I would cook it once on each side to get it crisp, then put it in a BBQ fish basket thingy and turn it every minute like you guys did.
Oh yeah!! This was our first time trying this - we are willing to try anything else a well! Thank you so much for watching man!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Great video 😊. Love the instruction. I don't know if anyone has said this, but it helps if you make sure that your sauce isn't too close to the edge when you're pinching it closed. If it is the edge doesn't seal properly, and your cheese and other stuffing can come out. Also as much as I love Hawaiian pizza, it doesn't translate well to calzone. The pineapple has too much juice and tends make it soggy.
Wow, excellent lint, thank you! And that’s a great thing to know as well, I love Hawaiian pizza, but for sure won’t be turning it into a calzone!😂😂🔥🔥
Amazing cook as always guys! Love it! You can really cook anything on that griddle. You really take it to the test. Great to hear. Did you guys do anything big for New Years? Hope you had a good time. Have a great Sunday and God bless! Griddle On my friends!!
Thank you so much fam! This was such a fun one to do! It was a relatively quiet New Year celebration - Brett was at home with our aunt and cousin, I was here with the wife and kiddos - most fell asleep before midnight. 😄😄. Take care!!
On the flip, when you add oil, why not have some already preheated oil down on the side that you can pull under the calzone?
Thank you so much for watching! Just something we are used to doing - never thought of doing this - the oil is more to ensure the dough doesn’t stick on the first flip, we could have had some already down, just wasn’t a thought. Take care!🤙🤙
Sausage and pepers onions garlic and lots of cheese
Yes!!! Lots and lots of cheese for sure! Thank you so much for watching Josh! Griddle on brother!😁❤️🤙
Happy new years my brothers Hey my awesome friend the funniest UNFUNNY guy is in the house showing support and dropping off a huge new Jersey USA size like have a philnominal day smile and laugh often be safe
Phil!! Thank you so much man - Happy New Year to you and your family! We hope all is well with you, and that you continue to make people smile. Much love!🤙🔥🔥🔥
I'm starting to think I shouldn't have got a blackstone......I haven't got my grill yet, and my wife has a list of things to make. Add another one. thanks guys...keep making the great videos!
Haha!! #sorrynotsorry - much love fam!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Publix dough is hard to work with. Full of gluten. Very simple to make your own pizza dough.
500g 00 flour
280g water
Instant yeast 3/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Kitchenaid mixer with dough hook for 7-8 mins on level 2
Cut into 3 dough balls and put in Tupperware overnight. Let warm to room temp prior to using.
Good luck.
YES!!!! I told Adam I want to find a dough we can make ourself!!! Thank you so much for watching and for the recipe! I can’t wait to do it!!!
Thank you so much man, we appreciate the Publix dough in a pinch, but would much rather make our own, thank you for this recipe !🤙🤙🔥🔥
Calzone... the taco of pizza
Haha!! It’s seriously like you were here during filming!! We kept calling it the “taco,” “empanada” - and any other ethic dish from other countries!🤣🤣
Need some ricotta !!
That would be excellent with this! Thank you so much for watching!🔥🔥🤙🤙
I gotta try this one! Have you considered trying a stromboli?
Thank you for watching fam! We haven’t yet, but now we gotta add it to the list!! Take care and GRIDDLE ON!🔥🔥🤙🤙
Also, a little tip on your merchandise, you should feature it better. For example, start your videos without the aprons off. Show the shirts while you intro the video and feature the ingredients. Then before you start cooking, mention you are grabbing your official Waltwin’s apron and it will draw people to both your shirts and aprons.
Boom. Yes! We have been “shy” about pushing our merch, mainly because it was something we mulled over for so long, but we totally need to get better at it - it’s always easier for us to promote the cooks and other products, but we get sheepish when it comes to our own stuff. Thank you so much for the honest feedback fam!🤙🤙🔥🔥
@@waltwins that’s why I’m saying to show the shirts in the intro. It lets people see something cool but you don’t have to push it like a used car salesman. 😂😂 Either way, as a third party observer, I can tell you, your pitch on your merch does not come off as gratuitous. If it ever seems pushy, I’ll let you know. 😀👍
@@flagatorfan perfect! You are awesome man, thank you so much!!🔥🔥
Man, those look AMAZING!! I never would have thought you could cook dough on the BS, but after watching this video it makes perfect sense. Another FANTASTIC cook in the books Boys!!!!
#DOUGHRAYME #CANNONSTRONG
Wahoo!! I gotta say, I love that you have a BS now - we cannot wait to brainstorm more with you! In fact, Brett and I just got done shooting 7 more vids, and we remembered we gotta get a live in with our Patreon peeps! Let’s do a virtual hangout in the next week or so!!🤙🤙
#VIRTUALFORNOWINPERSONLATER
@@waltwins You say when and I'll be there! Might even get Grilma out if the weather is decent! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Wow! Another one for me to try! 😉. My family it seems has loved me a little more since the Blackstone came! 😂. They are eating so well! Love the Coca Cola sign! And BTW, I have ordered a Waltwins hooded sweatshirt! 😊🥳🤗
Awww!! Lisa! You are seriously the best!! Thank you so much for all of the love and support - we are so happy that you are part of the amazing griddle nation! Much love to you and your family. Happy NEW Year and GRIDDLE ON!🤗🤗
You are amazing, Lisa! We appreciate your support so much! Adam and I always talk about how kind you are to us! Thank you so much! 🤗
@@kissbrettdouglas And Brett, your snappin at taste testing is absolutely freakin hilarious!! 😂😂😂
A calzone is nothing but a pizza that fell on the floor is scooped up folded and served as a Calzone.
Thanks for watching? Then it’s an incredible delicious accident!😜😜🔥🔥
oh man i'm coming over! o:
Woot woot!! We’ll pull up a seat!!🔥🔥🤙🤙
@@waltwins no worries dude. i bring my own. ;)
Looks great! Just got a Blackstone for Christmas and am loving it so far. Just curious, you were worried about the sides not cooking. Could you have pushed the calzone against the edge of the griddle to get it to brown some?
Thank you so much for watching, and congratulations on the new Blackstone! Yes! In fact, we should have been utilizing the sides for this reason - it’s something we for sure need to get better at - the whole surface, including the sides - are great for cooking! Take care and GRIDDLE W!🤙🤙🔥🔥
Oregano is great in a pizza
Oh yeah!! We for sure could have added it for extra flavor. Thank you so much for watching!🤙🤙
Can this be done in air frier ? Maybe for the first part of cook?
Thank you so much for watching! We talked scout it, and we think it could! We just wanted to try first on the griddle top, but someone for sure will try in the future. Take care!!🤙🤙
Where did you get the personalized cutting board from?
Thank you so much for watching fam!!😄😄. These were a gift from my nephew!🤙🤙
That looks AMAZING guys! The new Coca-Cola sign is awesome, just like you two 😃 How long did the total cook take to get the dough cooked through?
Thank you so much fam! Total cook time was approximately 15 minutes. You’d love this one man!🤙🤙
I know this is an older. video..looks good but did I miss you putting on the ricotta cheese?
No, we aren’t fans of ricotta cheese, and we have been told that without it, it’s Stromboli? However, there is an Italian place across from Brett who sells them this way, in fact, they tell people that don’t put ricotta in theirs.😋
Thank you so much for watching Maria! Griddle on sister!!!😁🤙❤️
Looks good. Although, it's more like a pizza pocket than a calzone.
Agreed! Some had pointed out this is closer to a Stromboli - regardless it was so good!!🔥🔥
Flipping every minute how long did it take total and i dont have a lid can i just leave on direct heat?
Hey man! Thank you so much for watching! We ended up cooking total time (approx) 15 minutes. For sure you don’t need a hood, it just helps speed it up - some use a dome as well, and we’ve even used a wok lid to cover foods. Hope this helps!🤙🤙
is this your back yard?.its fabulous with that screened in area...i have the airfryer griddle also and a royal gourmet barrel grill
Trust is awesome David! And yes, that’s Adam’s back yard! We C love cooking out there!🤗 Thank you so much get watching brother! Griddle on!!!😁🤙🏻❤️
Could you have domed them to cook faster
If you noticed during the video, we actually started to pull the hood down. Honestly, it didn’t seem to make a difference. We could have to keep the top side hot, but not sure how much it would have impacted the overall cook. I will for sure do it next time though to see if there is a difference! Take care James!😄😄
No pizza comment, but you keep commenting about the fact that "Even on Low, my Blackstone cooks pretty hot". For starters, perhaps you could put some kind of regulator valve on it to regulate the pressure of the gas coming in. That would allow you to tweak it for a true "Low" temp you may be looking for, and let her rip when you want a good hot cook.
Thank you so much - it actually has a good leave for us, but unfortunately we tried too many different ways to explain the exact temp and cook zones and it still seems to confuse people - for sure a regulator would help. Thank you for watching and for the suggestion!🤙🤙
Tell me abou the dough do I need to let it rise. If so how long?
Hello!! Thank you so much for watching! Yes! Can’t believe we didn’t talk about it! Ours was out of the fridge rising for about an hour. Hope this helps!! Take care!😄😄
@@waltwins thanks
What was the temp the in FL ? IM in Illinois and it so cold that I cant cook on my new Blackstone I got for Christmas :(
Thank you so luv for watching! We are very fortunate - it’s been 80 degrees the last few days! We have a “cold” front coming in the next could of days - but we’ll still be much warmer than Illinois! Hope the weather warms some to be able to cook soon🤙🤙🔥🔥
How cold is it I’m in ct and it was 32 out last night when I did smash burgers
