| Homemade calzone |
OK, so late Friday night my husband got the munchies. We were out of Cheez-Its (keep reading for a homemade Cheez-Its recipe) so he decided to make a pizza. Much to his chagrin we didn't have pizza sauce, so he decided to make his own from tomato sauce and a few spices. It was great! He had a little left over so I decided to use it in tonight's dinner.
This is what you will need to make homemade calzones.
 |
| A thawed freezer bread dough, ricotta cheese, pizza sauce, cheese and toppings |
It's super easy and delicious!
First, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
 |
| Spread the dough out on an oiled baking sheet or cornmeal-dusted pizza stone |
 |
| Spread about half a pint of ricotta on one half of the dough |
 |
| Add the sauce |
 |
Top with mozzarella or any Italian blend of shredded cheese
|
 |
| Add pepperoni, veggies, etc. |
 |
| Gently fold dough over and roll the seams |
 |
| Slit a few holes to release steam, brush with egg wash, and lightly salt |
 |
| Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown |
 |
| Mangia! |
