Calzones


This is one that Jason and I actually made up on our own. It is really easy to customize each calzone for whatever each person likes. For toppings, I like frozen spinach (make sure and get out all of the moisture!) and frozen broccoli (heat it up first in the microwave), Jason usually uses meatballs and black olives.

Calzones

1 package of pizza dough (we usually use the Pillsbury roll kind but any would do)
toppings - about 1/2 - 3/4 cup TOTAL per calzone
small amount of pasta sauce
mozzarella cheese

Preheat to 400. Lay out the pizza dough and make two sections. You can do triangles if you are fancy, although ours are usually rectangles. Put your dough on a cookie sheet. Place your toppings in the lower half of one of your dough pieces and then top with a few spoonfulls of pasta sauce. Sprinkle cheese on top of that, and then fold over the top and seal along the edges. We just press with our fingers but you could probably make it prettier with a fork. If you like, you can add some parmesean cheese and Italian seasoning on top of that, but I have never done it that way. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown on top.

I serve with ranch and/or extra pasta sauce.
