Sausage And Pepperoni Cheese Stuffed Calzone

Sausage And Pepperoni Cheese Stuffed Calzone


1. Preheat oven and pizza stone (if available) to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a large grill plan, cook sausage until browned. Drain.

3. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, seasonings, pepperoni and cooked sausage. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

4. Roll dough out to a 15" circle on a pizza paddle or baking sheet that has been lightly dusted with cornmeal. It doesn't have to be a perfect circle.

5. Spread meat and cheese filling over 1 side of the dough. Leave at least 1-inch of the edge without filling to ensure a tight seal.

6. 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. Remove any excess dough which isn't needed for the seal.

7. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle some parmesan cheese over top.

8. Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to release.

9. Transfer calzone from pizza pad to pizza stone in oven.

10. Bake 10-15 minutes, until puffed up golden brown.

11. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

12. Heat the marinara sauce in the microwave for dipping.
