Calzones

We make homemade pizza quite often, but my husband suggested a twist -calzones! Pretty much need all the same stuff for pizza:
Dough
Sauce
Cheese
Fillings!

Here are the recipes I use for sauce and dough, although you can buy cheater versions of both at the store. (Prego is a great sauce for these!)

DOUGH:
1T yeast
1 C warm water
1 1/2 t sugar
1-2 t salt
2 T oil
2 1/2-3 C flour

Combine yeast and water. Let sit 5 min. Add remaining ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic. Let rise at least 10 min.

While dough is rising make your
SAUCE:
1 small onion diced
1 clove garlic diced
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 t oregnao
1/2 t basil
pinch thyme, rosemary
pinch cayenne pepper

Sauté onions and garlic in a small sauce pan. Add other ingredients and simmer 5 min.

Gather toppings (we used mushroom and sausage)

Divide dough into 4 even parts (or I guess you could make 1 or 2 giant calzones instead of 4)

Stretch dough into a flat disk about the size of a salad plate. lay dough on greased cookie sheet. Lay sauce, cheese and desired toppings on one side of disk. Stretch other side of dough over toppings and press down edges with a fork, pinching tight. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Bake at 375 for 20ish minutes until they are golden brown. Serve extra sauce in a bowl on the side for dipping. We had a salad too!
