BUFFALO CHICKEN CALZONES
I'm always looking for creative ways to jazz up pizza. I came up with this "pizza turnover," to incorporate my love of buffalo chicken wings and created this scrumptious buffalo chicken calzone. -Ruth Ann Riendeau, Twin Mountain, New Hampshire

BUFFALO CHICKEN CALZONE
Everything you love about hot wings, but with loads of cheese and a crispy crust - and of course no bones! One of the beautiful things about this calzone (aside from being addictively delicious) is that it can be a very quick assembly, or an entirely made-from-scratch creation. I used store-bought dough (1/2 ball) , pre-breaded chicken tenders, jarred chunky blue cheese dressing, but opted to grate the white cheddar and mozzarella cheeses myself. So easy, so very very good...........

Steps:
- Start by cooking your breaded chicken tenders - store bought will take about 20 minutes. When they are done, turn the oven up to 450 degrees.
- Stretch out your room temperature pizza dough to a round shape and let rest for about ten minutes.
- When the dough has puffed up a bit, slather chunky blue cheese dressing on one half. You may want to put the dough on a non-stick baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal BEFORE adding fillings when making a small one - you will definitely want to if making a large!
- Toss the crispy chicken tenders in hot sauce of choice (I love Frank's).
- Put your sauced chicken tenders on top off the blue cheese dressing. If you don't want to use the chicken tenders whole, cut them in smaller pieces before tossing in the hot sauce.
- On top of the saucy fingers, pile on the grated mozzarella and white cheddar cheese.
- make sure your top edge goes OVER and under the bottom edge - just pushing down on top will not do it. Push down your folded over edge all along the side.
- Make two or three small air holes on top of the calzone.
- Put the calzone into the oven for 12-15 minutes - check at 12 minutes, and sprinkle some grated cheese on top. When you remove from the oven, let it cool down for at least 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Measure the imprinted stitching on an approximately 12-by-8-inch football-shaped baking pan and cut the provolone into 2 long strips and 7 shorter strips to imitate; set aside. Spray the football pan with the cooking spray.
- Unroll 1 tube of dough and cut in half widthwise. Bake one of the halves on the prepared baking sheet until lightly done, about 8 minutes. (Reserve the other half of the dough.) Use a knife or kitchen shears to cut the baked dough into a football shape slightly smaller than the pan.
- In a medium bowl, toss together the Buffalo sauce and shredded chicken.
- Unroll the remaining tube of dough and drape into the prepared football pan, letting the extra dough hang over the sides. Fill with half of the chicken mixture, half of the grated Swiss or mozzarella and half of the scallions. Top with the football-shaped crust. Add the remaining chicken mixture, grated cheese and scallions. Add the blue cheese. Top with the reserved uncooked dough half. Use a knife to trim the excess edges of dough, leaving a little extra to pinch the 2 edges of dough together. Put the pan on a baking sheet.
- Bake until the crust is just beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and invert the football pan onto the baking sheet to unmold the calzone. Drizzle the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt. Continue to bake until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Arrange the strips of provolone to mimic the football stitching; the heat of the calzone will slightly melt the cheese and adhere it to the football. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Slice and serve with ranch dressing for dipping, and celery sticks on the side.
BONELESS BUFFALO CHICKEN CALZONE
A yummy calzone. I make this up after getting tired of paying for one at my local pizza store! This can be made lighter by not breading the chicken.
