Biscuit Calzones Recipes

EASY REFRIGERATOR BISCUIT CALZONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook about 4-5 minutes, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon as you go along. Add mushrooms and continue cooking until sausage is done and no longer pink.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix well the ricotta, mozzarella, and basil. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
• Roll out each biscuit onto a lightly floured work surface using a rolling pin. Roll/flatten until double in size (6"-7" in diameter).
• When sausage mixture is done, drain well on paper towels, patting down well to remove as much grease/oil as you can. Add to cheese mixture. Blending well.
• To the rolls, place about 2 heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the center, keeping away from the sides. Using a pastry brush, brush around HALF of the edges. DO NOT BRUSH ALL AROUND OR IT WILL NOT STICK TOGETHER.
• Fold rolls in half over the filling (fold the un-brushed side onto the brushed side). Seal the edges by gently pressing the tines of a fork around the folded edge.
• Place onto ungreased baking sheet (best to use parchment or a silpat underneath) Brush tops with remaining eggwash and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Using the tip of a sharp knife, pierce hole in top of calzones to allow steam to escape.
• Bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown. Let sit a few minutes before serving with marinara sauce.

BISCUIT CALZONES

Steps:

• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place frozen rolls on top to thaw. Cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel and let thaw and rise, 3 to 5 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Uncover rolls.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add sausage. Cook, breaking up as you stir occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup marinara sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook until heated through, about 4 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
• Pour remaining marinara sauce into a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in the microwave until heated through, about 1 minute.
• Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, ricotta cheese, 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper in another microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes and stir. Continue to microwave until completely heated through, about 2 minutes more. Stir in parsley.
• Slice rolls in half and place on a plate. Serve with the bowls of sausage mixture, marinara sauce, cheese mixture, and the pepperoni, layering as you please.

MINI CALZONES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Sprinkle a baking sheet with the semolina and set aside.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough into a round that is about 12 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 8 rounds with a 3 1/2- to 4-inch biscuit cutter or drinking glass. Dust with flour and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
• Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Combine the cheese blend, ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan, scallions and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place 3 slices of the pepperoni on one half of each round of dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Top each round with 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture.
• Brush the egg wash around the edges of one dough round using your finger or a pastry brush. Gently fold the dough over the filling to enclose and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds.
• Brush the tops of the calzones with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet and bake on the middle rack until golden, 14 to 16 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through for even baking.
• While the calzones bake, heat the tomato sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Place the calzones on a platter with the sauce and serve immediately.
