How To Make calzone
-
1Preheat oven to 400ºF. In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and when hot, add onion, red pepper and mushrooms; season with freshly ground black pepper. Sauté the vegetables until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add sausages and cook for 5 minutes.

2Transfer meat mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in Italian seasoning, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, parsley, and pizza sauce; set aside.
-
3On a floured work surface, place dough and pull under to form a ball; divide into 4 equal pieces. Pull under to form 4 balls and then roll it down to a round shape of about 9-inch diameter. Spread meat mixture over half side of the dough, leaving at least 1” of the edge; top cheese over meat mixture. Moisten the edge of the dough with water using damp fingers and fold over the top just past the filling, tap it down to keep in place. Take the extra dough and fold it over, going around, crimping it to seal the edge.

4Sprinkle corn meal on a baking sheet, lined with silpat. Using a bench scraper, carefully transfer calzone on prepared baking sheet. Make air vents with the tip of a knife. Brush an egg wash over and sprinkle lightly with parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Cut in half and serve with a side of marinara sauce and salad. Makes 4 calzones
