Calzone Bread Machine

You can create your own fillings for this very easy calzone. I don't use the pepperoni, but substitute cooked, chopped spinach. You can also add sauteed onions and peppers, olives, ricotta cheese...etc. I have also made small individual calzones to dip in marinara sauce...heaven! Kids love these.

Steps

Place water , salt , basil , oregano , garlic powder , bread flour , dry milk , sugar , and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer.

Select dough cycle.

After cycle ends , roll out dough on a lightly floured surface , shaping into a 16 x 10 inch rectangle.

Transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet.

In a small bowl , mix together chopped pepperoni and mozzarella.

Spoon pizza sauce in a stripe down the center of dough lengthwise.

Add sausage and cheese filling.

Make diagonal cuts 1 1 / 2 inches apart down each side , cutting within a 1 / 2 inch of the filling.

Criss cross strips over filling , sealing with water.

Brush top with melted butter.

You can just fold over the sides without cutting the strips to make this process easier.

It will taste just as good , but not look as nice.

Be sure to seal the edges well.

Bake at 350 degrees f for 35 to 45 minutes.
