Pizza Pockets/Calzones

So I like to make pizza pockets and pizza rolls, I think it's well known that Raven likes pizza. Loves it. I have a simple recipe that is semi home made that you are going to love.

Shopping list:
Pizza crust from the refridgerated section
pepperoni
mozzarella cheese
parmesan cheese
1 can tomato sauce
italian seasoning
garlic salt
granulated garlic
dehydrated onions
nonstick spray


Preheat your oven to the temperature the pizza crust dictates. While preheating, open the tomato sauce and pour into a small sauce pan set to low.  Add the onions, granulated garlic, and italian seasoning to the tomato sauce.  Start with about 1 teaspoon of each and increase it until you have it almost where you want it, then let it simmer.  The flavors will intensify as it cooks.  Cover the sauce and simmer until the pizza roll/calzone is finished cooking.

Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectange and cut in half.  Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.  In each half, spread in some parmesan cheese (the cheap grated kind for spaghetti works fine), pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and anything else you like in your pizza.  Make sure you use only one side of the dough, and leave a space at the edge on the side you have placed the filling.  Fold over the dough and press the seams to seal well.  Spinkle the top of the calzones with garlic salt and bake until golden brown.  Serve with the sauce.


As an alternative, you can make pizza rolls.  There are a few ways to do this.  You can buy frozen yeast rolls at the grocery, or you can use a regular yeast dough (Pillsbury makes a good mix). You want to let the dough rise the first time, then take each ball and squish it down flat, place a cube of mozzarella and some pepperoni, a sprinkle of parmesan on it and pull the dough around and seal it, placing the seal on the bottom.  Lightly spray the top of the rolls will a cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic salt. Bake until golden brown.
