Calzones
Calzones (adapted from the Pioneer Woman) makes 8 calzones
8 frozen, unrisen dinner rolls (Rhodes work great!)
1 lb Italian sausage
1/4 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup shredded parmesan
1 egg
pinch of salt
1/4 tsp pepper
pepperoni
1 egg, beaten
marinara/pizza sauce for dipping (we got jarred pizza sauce, it was great!)
Place frozen rolls on a baking sheet to thaw. Cover with a tea towel and let thaw and rise for 2 to 3 hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Brown sausage in skillet. While browning, add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Drain and set aside to cool a bit.
In a separate bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, egg, salt, and pepper.
When rolls are thawed and risen, roll them out on a lightly floured surface until paper thin. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons of cheese filling onto half of the dough circle. Top with sausage and pepperoni. Fold half of the dough over itself, then seal edges with a fork. Brush surface of calzone with beaten egg, then bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with warm marinara or pizza sauce.
