Ingredients
1 package refrigerated pizza dough
1 egg
1/4 cup water
Filling - see below
**Any meat that goes into the calzone should be cooked first. Likewise, if adding onions, you may want to saute them first. Anything that is pre-cooked is fine - it will simply warm up inside the calzone and create a tasty meal! |

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Flour countertop, roll out refrigerated dough and using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough a little thinner. The thickness of the dough should be your preference; if you like your calzone doughier, then stay with the thicker dough. Cut dough into circles; smaller circles for appetizers and little appetites, larger circles for main meals. I used cereal bowls, dessert plates, and mixing bowls as references, then used a pizza cutter to cut out the size circle I wanted. |
Place a small amount of filling on the circle. Fold one side over to the other creating a half circle. Moisten your fingers with water and press to seal. Using fork tines, press to close. Vent the calzone slightly and place on greased cookie sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water, lightly brush egg mixture over the calzone. Bake for 12-16 minutes, until browned. (You can fry if you like, but I prefer the heathier baking method.)
