These are huge, easy, tasty pizza pockets that are fun for casual get-togethers or just for dinner. It is fun to let each person make their own. Since these are so big kids may want to share, or you could consider cutting the dough into 4 pieces instead of 2 to make smaller portions.
Ingredients:
-14 ounce can Ragu Pizza sauce jar (do not use spaghetti sauce!)
-Rhodes Bake and serve White bread loaves (use half a loaf per calzone, so buy the frozen bread according to how many people you are cooking for).
-Pepperoni
-1 can black olives
-1 green pepper
-Mozzarella cheese (grated)
Thaw bread loaves. You can let them rise, but it is not necessary. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut loaves of bread dough in half. Pinch dough (or use a rolling pin with flour on counter top) to create a thin round pizza crust form (do not squish or knead or the dough will get sticky and not work well). Lay your dough onto a large ungreased cookie sheet (it will be greased later with pam). Spread sauce and all desired ingredients on half of the crust. Stay at least 1 inch away from all edges. Edges need to be sauce-free! Fold the calzone closed and pinch all edges to fuse them together. Grease pan and cook in oven until light golden brown (about 12-15 minutes although mine have taken as long as 20 minutes before).
Tip: After about 8 minutes of baking, adding a small amount of butter to the top of the crust makes it turn gold nicely and gives it a little something extra. ;) Enjoy!!!
