Easy Pizza Calzones

July 1, 2012 by Larisha Campbell 2 Comments

Pizza in any form is my true weakness. Whether it’s a whole pizza, pizza bites, pizza calzones, pizza subs, pizza soup….okkkk, now I’m just getting carried away.  You get the point.  Pizza it just simply amazing.
 
Sticking with my goal of trying to eat healthier, sometimes it is difficult to balance what I secretly wish I could eat everyday without gaining an ounce love with what is healthy. I try to do my best at balancing this by making as much homemade food as possible. This way I can make substitutions as needed, PLUS I know exactly what is going into my food.

About a week ago I posted how to make super easy pizza dough. Part of that recipe includes freezing half the dough for later.  The other day I was in the mood for pizza, of course, but decided to throw a twist into it and make calzones.

I started by thawing out the dough and then rolling it in about a 12 inch circle.  I then added 3/4 cup marinara sauce (add as much or little as you want depending on how much sauce you like), sliced turkey pepperoni (about 24 pieces), and cheese (I used a mix of cheddar and mozzarella–about 1/2 cup each). Of course you can add whatever toppings you want 🙂 

Next, slowly beginning to roll up the dough from one side of the other.

Place seam side down on greased baking sheet. Place in a preheat oven at 350 degrees for 20 mins.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. You want to let it sit so forms up a bit.  If you cut it right away the sauce and cheese will just go everywhere (maybe that wouldn’t be so bad).  
Cut into slices. And devour enjoy!  I like to serve with some warm marinara sauce on the side for dipping! (you can never have too much sauce in my opinion). 
What other toppings would you add??
