Calzones

I used the bread maker to make pizza dough. You can use a pizza dough recipe or store bought pizza dough. Here's the one for the bread machine.

Dough

1 C plus 2 Tbs Water

3 Tbs Olive Oil

1 tsp salt

4 tsp sugar

4 C All-Purpose Flour

2 1/2 tsp active yeast

Filling

4 C frozen broccoli

scant 2 C Ricotta Cheese

2 C Mozzarella Cheese

4 Garlic Cloves, Minced

To taste Pepper

12 Thin slices of Ham

1. Place all dough ingredients in the bread pan, select Dough setting, and press Start.

2. When the dough has risen long enough, the machine will beep. Turn off bread machine, remove bread pan, and turn out dough onto a heavily floured counter top or cutting board. Shape dough into a log.

With a sharp knife, divide dough into 12 pieces.

3. Grease a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

4. In a medium bowl, combine broccoli, cheeses, garlic and pepper; set aside.

5. With a rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a 6-inch circle. On one half of each circle, place folded slice of ham, then spread 1/2 cup of broccoli mixture on top of ham. Fold each half of dough over filling. Seal well by pressing edges together with the tines of a fork. Brush each calzone with melted butter (see below).

Topping

4 Tbs Melted Butter

2 C Spaghetti Sauce

Parmesan Cheese to taste

6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven. Serve warm with Spaghetti Sauce and Parmesan Cheese on the side.

**To freeze, allow to cool completely and then wrap in parchment paper and put in a freezer bag. When you are ready to eat, remove from freezer and place directly into preheated (350 degrees) oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.

**You can add almost anything to the inside of your calzone. You are not limited to the fillings I've listed here.
