Calzone mmm mmm

Mike rates this one the best we've had yet, or at least tied with the macaroni. This calzone is quick, easy, and you can pick and choose all of your favorite pizza toppings. Here is my recipe, you can modify it as you please. *Please note the portions of the ingredients reflect 2 large calzones and serves 6-8 people.


Ingredients

2 loaves of Rhodes bread dough (or your own homemade bread dough)
2 cup of mozzarella or your favorite cheese (we used monterey jack and mozzarella)
1/2 pound of salami slices
1/2 pound of canadian bacon slices
1 cup of mushrooms (optional)
3/4 cup of onions (Optional)
*we didn't have green pepper or else we would have added that
*Marinara sauce for dipping if you so choose.

Directions

*Heat Oven to 375 degrees.
*Cover your counter tops and rolling pin in flour to keep the dough from sticking.
(these are the little things that I forget)


Roll each loaf of bread dough to about 12 inches by 8 inches *keep in mind that you may need to roll it out a little extra in case dough shrinks





Next, lay your toppings in the center length wise. Remember to leave enough room on all sides so you can close them together after your toppings are in!





Next, fold the ends together and pinch the dough so it stays closed. Grease your baking sheet. Place the finished calzone rolls with the seams down and place in the oven. We lightly drizzled the tops with olive oil and dusted it with finely grated parmesan cheese.



Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until lighty golden brown and they should look like this:





I am proud to announce that this is the first recipe that I did not mess up in!!! I think I'm finally getting the hang of this cooking thing.... or I need to stick to these easier recipes. =)

So dear blog readers, as the infamous Julia Childs would say... "Bon Appetit!"
