Calzone

Ingredients

  • 10 ounce can refrigerated rolls or biscuit dough
  • 8 ounce can tomato sauce with onion
  • 1 tsp basil leaves
  • 1 tsp oregano leaves
  • 2 mild Italian pork sausages
  • water
  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 1/4 cup freshly shredded
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/2 cup freshly shredded
  • Romano or Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Open rolls and let stand until they reach room temperature. Heat tomato sauce with basil and oregano; set aside. Simmer sausages in water to cover for 20 minutes; drain, cool, remove the casings and slice thinly. For each Calzone, compress half the rolls into a flat cake and roll on a floured board to make an 11-inch diameter circle. Brush lightly with oil and spread half the tomato sauce over half the dough circle to within 1/2 inch of edge. Top sauce with half the sausage; sprinkle with half the Mozzarella cheese and Romano cheese. Fold plain half over filling to within 1/4 inch of opposite edge. Roll bottom edge up over top edge; pinch or crimp together to seal. Brush with oil. Repeat to make second Calzone. Transfer both Calzones with a wide spatula to a greased baking sheet, placing slightly apart. Pierce tops in a few places with a fork. Bake in a 500 degrees oven for 6 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 2 Calzones or 4 supper servings. Info: Calzone has the same flavors as pizza, but it is made like a huge turnover with the meat, sauce and melting cheese sealed inside. It can stand alone as a substantial snack, or, combined with a green salad and soup, it makes an easy supper.
