HOMEMADE PEPPERONI CALZONES

1 (8 oz.) jar spaghetti sauce with mushrooms & oregano & basil
8 oz. thinly sliced pepperoni
1 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 egg, beaten

PIZZA DOUGH:

1 pkg. reg. or quick-acting active dry yeast
1 c. warm water
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
2 3/4 to 3 1/4 c. all-purpose flour

Prepare pizza dough. Punch down dough; divide into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into 7 inch circle on lightly floured surface. Take the spaghetti sauce and spread over half of each circle to within 1 inch of edge; top with pepperoni and cheese. Carefully fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal securely. Place sandwiches on greased cookie sheet; let rest 15 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Brush sandwiches with egg. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Yield: 6 sandwiches, 355 calories per sandwich.

PIZZA DOUGH DIRECTIONS: Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Stir in sugar, oil, salt and 1 cup of flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place until almost double, about 30 minutes.

Great recipe. The dough makes a very tasty shell. I make mine without the sauce inside, and just dip the finished calzones in the sauce. Twenty-five minutes was a little long to bake for me. The crust got a little too brown, so might be a good idea to bake about 20 minutes then check on them.

My 11 yr old and 4 yr old helped me make this for dinner tonight, I loved it and they devoured it! We only cooked it for about 15 minutes and it was plenty done, so really watch your time!

VERY very good recipe!! I didn't have pepperoni so I used pizza sausage and added sauteed onion and black olives as well as pepperoncinis. Deeeelicious! I will definitely be making this again soon for my family!

Outstanding! The only thing I did differently was to use 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead of vegetable oil, pizza sauce, and added canned sliced mushrooms. To make it easy, I also used regular yeast and put all the dry ingredients (minus 1 cup of flour) for the dough in a bowl and added the liquid ingredients (120°F). Stirred well and turned out on a floured cloth with the remaining cup of flour and kneaded for 5 minutes. I did pierce the calzones with a skewer before baking for steam vents. Baked on the lower rack of a toaster oven for exactly 24 minutes. Delicious.
