Sweet potato (X-calzones-X) pasties!

If you've ever had sweet potato pizzas at Emma's pizza, then you know that they're absolutely yummy. That is, unless you're a person that hates potatoes or non-traditional toppings.

Well, "inspired" by their sweet potato pizza, I decided to make my own too! But I'm stuffing all the tasty toppings- feta, caramelized onions, spinach, sweet potatoes, and sauce, all in calzones!

One batch of dough was whole wheat, and one batch was regular. I prefer the whole wheat ones much more...

At first I was planning to make mini-calzones, but they seemed too time consuming for that day. I decided to make smaller calzones instead, well smaller than the ones you'd get in a pizza shop or the giant tasteless ones I remember from my high school cafeteria.

I know these don't look like calzones, but they're my hybrid of potstickers/calzones. :D

Whatever the shape, they tasted good, but were missing some rosemary and other herbs to make them even tastier. I'd have to try making them again sometime, with herbs, and less filling.

[Edit: My good friend informed me these are pasties, not calzones. Scratch that! ^-^)

Ever heard of a pasty?

It's a traditional snack or lunch in England - especially in Cornwall. It looks like you made some pasties, rather than calzone. Yum yum.

I always thought pasties would be a big hit in the USA, maybe one of the pasty chains here will give it a go.

PASTIES! Yum.

I think of a Calzone as a pizza that's just been rolled up into a half-moon shape. Cornish pasties are so good! :)

And those look very, very tasty :) Never been to Emma's, it's been on my 'curious' list :)
