Calzone

Nutrition Information

• • Calories: 650

Ingredients

• • 6 inch dough ball (either homemade or can be purchased at a store locally, I cut the ones I buy in half for this recipe)

• • 1/4 lb (more or less personal choice) mozzarella

• • 8 slices pepperoni

• • 1/8 lb sausage

• • as needed sauce for dipping

• • as needed flour to make dough unsticky

• • as needed cornmeal

Process

• 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees

• 2. Roll out 6 inch dough ball into a circular pizza shape, as thin as possible

• 3. Spread a layer of cheese down on half of the dough, leaving about a half an inch of crust along the side

• 4. Put other toppings (sausage and pepperoni for mine) down on top of the cheese

• 5. Spread another layer of cheese on top of the toppings.

• 6. Fold the empty part of the pizza dough over the side with toppings

• 7. Crimp the sides of the dough together to form a pocket with the toppings inside

• 8. Cut 3 to 5 small holes into the top of the calzone with a knife, these are for ventilation

• 9. Place calzone on a pizza stone or baking sheet, cornmeal can be used to prevent sticking

• 10. Cook for 10-15minutes, or until calzone is a light golden brown

• 11. Heat sauce for dipping in separate dish

• 12. Enjoy!
