This week is going to be busy, but fun as we wind down to winter break! This coming weekend is our annual Christmas with the Reeds. We celebrate Christmas with most of Nick's brothers and his parents the Saturday before Christmas. This year, each family is bringing something to contribute to the meal and we are bringing calzone. The recipe is at the end :)
Monday: chicken and rice enchiladas
Tuesday: turkey tenderloin and mashed potatoes
Wednesday: chicken and vegetable fried rice
Thursday: meatballs, spinach, pasta
Friday: breakfast
Saturday: dinner at Nick's parents, we're bringing sausage and cheese calzone!
Sunday: dinner at my parents :)
Calzone:
Pizza dough (store bought or homemade, I've used both and they work equally well)
Pizza or Marinara Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese
Toppings: Almost any pizza toppings will work, but I'd stay away from pineapple. And I would not over do it with the toppings, either.
Preheat oven to 350*F and lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
Sprinkle flour over work surface and roll out your dough to big rectangle. I use a large cutting board as my surface so I can easily remove the calzone at the end.
Assemble as if making a regular pizza (sauce, cheese, and toppings).
Fold each side over about half an inch so you have a crust of sorts.
Starting on the long side of the rectangle, begin rolling the dough tucking in the sides that you folded earlier.
Roll all the way and carefully pinch dough together.
Roll the whole calzone off of your work surface and onto a cookie sheet.
Bake until the pizza dough has a nice golden color. This can take up to 45 minutes, but check the calzone often to ensure it doesn't burn.
Let cool, slice as if slicing bread, and enjoy!
