PEPPERONI CALZONES

Steps:

• Mix together in a large bowl flour, sea salt and baking powder.
• Then add water and mix until everything is well combined and you start to see the dough forming. If using a Kitchenaid mixer, switch to the dough paddle. It will whip everything nicely and you'll be left with a ball of dough at the bottom of the bowl. Knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes.
• Sprinkle some flour on your station and some on your dough. Work the flour into the dough so it's no longer sticky. Separate the dough into two balls. Each ball makes one calzone.
• Using a rolling pin, thin out your dough. Start from left to right, then top to bottom until you have a circular or shape.
• Use a spoon to spread the sauce down in the center of the dough then sprinkle with the mozzarella.
• Next line up the pepperoni right on top of the cheese.
• Starting from the bottom, fold the dough about an inch over. Do the same from the top and then fold over the sides to seal the contents.
• In a small bowl, combine the 1 tsp of oil, garlic salt and basil leaves. Brush the top of the calzone. Bake in the oven on a pizza stone at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes. Cut in half and serve!

• Unroll remaining can of dough. Press out dough on work surface to form 12-inch round. Fold dough in half; place over provolone cheese and unfold. Press outside edges to seal. Cut several slits in top crust for steam to escape. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown. Cut pizza into wedges; serve with warm pizza sauce.

PEPPERONI CALZONES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place foil or parchment paper on a large baking sheet and spray with nonstick spray. Unroll the loaf on the cookie sheet. Cut it into 4 rectangles. Spread 2 Tablespoons of marinara sauce on the bottom half of each rectangle. Leave a little border of dough on the bottom and sides so you'll have room to seal all the goodness inside. Place a heaping 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Layer 10 pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Fold the top of the dough over the filling on the bottom half, pressing the edges to seal. Seal the edges again with a fork. If stuff is leaking out, it's OK. Cut three slits in each calzone, to let the steam escape. Brush the tops with the beaten egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds or Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving with the additional (warm) marinara sauce for dipping.

PEPPERONI CALZONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F
• Divide the dough: Using the prepared pizza dough, split the dough into 4 evenly sized balls for large calzones or 6 for smaller ones. Work with one dough ball at a time and keep the remaining dough balls covered so they don't dry out.
• Roll out the dough: Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin roll it out until you have a circle that is 6-8 inches in diameter, again depending on size you are looking for. If you are making four larger calzones, I would shoot for around 8 inches in diameter. If making the smaller version go for 6-inches. Roll out all the dough balls, so you can have an assembly line when it comes to time to fill the calzones. In the end you should have what looks like 4 to 6 mini pizza crusts waiting to be filled.
• Brush with egg wash: Once your calzones are sealed, make the egg wash. Add the egg and 1 tablespoon of water in small bowl and beat with a fork until combined. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash over the top of the calzones.
• To Serve: Serve the calzones while warm with extra marinara for dipping.

Place 3 pepperoni slices on one half of the circle and spoon about 1/4 cup of the mushroom and onion mixture over the pepperoni.
• Fold the dough over to form a half circle and pinch the edges to seal them. Place the calzone on a greased cookie sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
