My Calzone (...pulling a 'Pioneer-Woman')

Ingredients:

Pizza dough

Tomatoes

Ricotta Cheese

Tomato Sauce

Onions

Spinach leaves

Pepperoni

Chicken Sausage

Mozzerella Cheese

Italian Seasoning

This is not how I usually make my calzones. But my friend Ivory came over with it, and we worked it in! You know that my husband loved it - the more meat the better, right? What's nice about making a calzone is you can make it as light and healthy (or as fattening and heavy) as you'd like. You control the ingredients.

I buy the flattened out pizza dough from Win Co for three bucks. I take it home and smear half of it with riccotta cheese, smear some tomato sauce on top of that. Then come the chopped tomatoes. I use a ton! Because after you sprinkle those tomatoes with plenty of italian seasoning, they will be the center of the flavor of your calzone. On top of the tomatoes I added a few chopped onions and then layere spinach leaves, sliced sausage and sliced pepperoni. Sprinkle at least 2 cups of shredded mozzerella cheese and that's it. Fold the dough over, knead the ends, and sprinkle a little more cheese on top if you want. Bake at 350 for 15-25 minutes, and let cool for 5 minutes before you cut into it or all your yummy gooeyness comes melting right out.

A great thing about making your own calzone:

They're gigantic, and they taste awesome the next day!

(guess what i'm having for lunch...)
