Ingredients

45 minutes
4 people
  1. 1 packagestore bought pizza dough, either pre made or the mix
  2. 1 cuppizza sauce
  3. 2 cupsshredded mozzarella cheese
  4. Your favorite pizza toppings (I used salami, pepperoni and black olives)
  5. 4 tbspsalted butter
  6. To taste pepper
  7. To taste garlic powder
  8. To taste oregano
  9. Shaved parmesan cheese

Cooking Instructions

45 minutes
  1. 1

    Make the dough per package instructions or take the ready made dough and form four balls. Roll each ball out until thin and round.

  2. 2

    Add 1/4 cup sauce to each, spread it evenly and then add the toppings and cheese.

  3. 3

    Fold them up into pockets shaped like half moons. Make sure they are sealed up well so they don’t burst while baking. You can use a little water and a fork to press the edges down and don’t be afraid to pinch them either. Cut a few slits in the top for venting purposes.

  4. 4

    Soften the butter in a microwave safe bowl, 30 seconds at a time. Add the pepper, garlic powder and oregano, and mix well.

  5. 5

    Place the finished calzones on a foil lined, greased sheet pan, seam sides down. Brush the butter generously on top of each one.

  6. 6

    Throw a little parmesan on top and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Let them rest for a few minutes then enjoy!

As a Southern gal and a mother, food is a huge part of my life, along with family and tradition. I'm also quite fond of traveling when I can, (especially to the beach), books, music, and any and all other types of brain food. Hope y'all can find something new to enjoy from my collection of diverse recipes that have been passed around my family, are self-taught or inspired from others, or a combination of all three! There’s nothing plain here! ✌🏻
