Quick to Fix Cheese Calzone image

Variation on a Robin Miller recipe. She used steamed broccoli and no garlic in hers. You can use any vegetables (roasted or raw) you like or cooked meat (pepperoni, sausage, etc). When I made this, I actually used two cans of Pillsbury pizza dough (about 13.5 ounces each) and divided the filling to make one veggie calzone and one pepperoni calzone.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, drained well
1 (8 ounce) bag part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 2 cups volume)
2 teaspoons garlic, minced, to taste
1 -1 1/2 cup roasted vegetables or 1 -1 1/2 cup pepperoni slice
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 lb pizza dough, thawed
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated, to taste
1 -2 cup pizza sauce or 1 -2 cup marinara sauce, to dip, heated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella and garlic; Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • Roll dough out to a 15" circle on a baking sheet that has been lightly dusted first with either flour or cornmeal.
  • Spread cheese filling over 1 side of circle, to within 1-inch of the edge and then top with filling of your choice (veggies or cooked meat).
  • Lift 1 side of dough and fold over so that it meets the other side, forming a half moon, and pinch the edges together to seal, using a fork to press edges together.
  • Brush with olive oil and sprinkle some parmesan cheese over top, to taste.
  • Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to release.
  • Bake 10-15 minutes, until puffed up golden brown.
