Cheesy Cheddar 'n Ham Loaf
5:48 PM
1 lb whole wheat pizza dough
1/2 lb sliced black forest ham
1 cup marble cheese shredded
1/4 cup Miracle Whip dressing
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp parmesan grated cheese
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 12x8-inch rectangle. (If dough is difficult to roll, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 min. before rolling out.)
2. Cover dough with ham, overlapping slices slightly and leaving a 1/2-inch border around all sides. Mix Cheddar cheese and dressing; spread over ham.
3. Moisten edges of dough with water. Starting at 1 of the long sides, fold 1/3 of dough over filling; repeat with other long side. Firmly pinch ends of dough together to seal. Place, seam-side down, on lightly greased baking sheet. Cut 3 diagonal slits in top of dough with kitchen shears. Brush with egg; sprinkle with Parmesan.
4. Bake 35 to 40 min. or until golden brown. Cool 10 min. before slicing to serve.

Tips/Tricks/Notes
This recipe is SO easy and SO tasty! I used a whole wheat pizza dough from the grocery store, and instead of just cheddar cheese that the original recipe calls for, I used marble, as I prefer this. This recipe would easily feed at least four people. I served it with just a caesar salad on the side. Definitely recommend if you are looking for something quick and easy for lunch or dinner!

Recipe: Homemade Calzones
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.
The picture seen above is an actual picture I took of my completed calzones, it is not taken from the internet or played with in anyway.
