Sausage and Cheese Calzone
Ingredients
- Pizza dough
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausages, skins removed
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 4 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 10 ounces mozzarella cheese, chopped coarse
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare pizza dough.
- In a skillet, cook the sausage and onion over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring to break up the meat.
- Add bell pepper and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring often, or until the sausage is cooked through and vegetables are soft.
- Remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
- Stir in the mozzarella, parsley and red pepper flakes.
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Brush 2 baking sheets with olive oil or spray with olive oil cooking spray.
- Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Take one piece of the dough and with floured hands press it into a 6 inch round. Stretch or roll it out with a rolling pin into a 12 inch circle. Leaving a 1/2 inch edge, spread a quarter of the filling over half of the dough. Dampen the edges with water. Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling; seal the edges with a fork. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. With a large spatula, carefully transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the outside.
- Serve warm.
