Calzone

Dough

I use the same dough that is listed on my Bierocks recipe.  These are super easy to make, very filling and my family loves them!  I had a total cost of $7.00 in making these.

Makes 5 calzones

Dough 

• 2 cups warm water
• 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup margarine, softened
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 7 cups all-purpose flour   

  Filling

• 1lb hamburger 

• 1lb sausage

• 1 yellow onion

• 1 small can mushrooms

• 1/2 medium red  pepper

• 1/2 medium yellow pepper 

• 1 can pizza sauce or you can try my homemade pizza sauce

• Four Cheese blend shredded cheese or mozzarella

• Italian seasoning

Directions

Prepare dough: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. 
Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes (unless you use instant yeast, then you don't need to dissolve or wait just add it to the dry mixture, don't forget the water) Mix in sugar, margarine, egg, salt and 1/2 of the flour. Beat until smooth; add remaining flour until dough pulls together. Place in oiled bowl. Cover with foil and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight, OR let it rise for 1 hour.

 

Next fry up the meat, add onion, diced peppers, mushrooms and minced garlic half way through browning.  Drain grease.  

Add pizza sauce... Make sure it isn't soupy or the calzone will leak heat.  

warm for 2 minutes.  Pull from fire. 

 Let cool slightly so that it doesn't melt the dough.

Take the dough and separate into 5 balls.

Roll dough out and fill with meat mixture and sprinkle with cheese and Italian seasoning. 

 Fold side over and press and roll edges to seal. Sprinkle cheese on top..

 Bake 3 to a sheet for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Use a spatula to remove from the pan.  Serve immediately.
