Homemade Calzones

















Makes: 4 Calzones

1 Whole Wheat Pizza Dough (750 g/26 oz)
Marble Cheese Shredded
Preferred Pizza Tops for Stuffing (See below for ideas)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Divide pizza dough into 4 smaller dough balls.  Take 1 of the smaller dough balls and fallen making sure to keep the dough evenly thick.  Place chosen toppings on ONE SIDE only.  Make sure that you do not use too much toppings as you won't be able to close the calzone.  Once all toppings are placed on one side, fold the empty side over top of the topping side then press the two edges together making sure that there are no holes.
3. Continue this with the other 3 dough balls.  Place all on a baking sheet.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until dough is completely baked.

Tips/Tricks/Notes

You must make sure that there are no holes when you fold the dough over the toppings.  If there is even a small hole the insides will slowly leak out as they are baking in the oven.  Another tip, if you find the dough sticking to your hands as you try and flatten it out, try putting a tiny bit of flour on your fingers.

Some good ideas for toppings; I prefer mine filled with just cheese and pepperoni.  My husband likes his with tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni, olives, mushrooms and bacon bits.  Of course the choices are basically endless.  I also enjoy dipping mine in either ranch sauce or jalapeno cheddar sauce.  Also, I enjoy using marble cheese, but that is also changeable.
