REAL ITALIAN CALZONES
I absolutely love this recipe! I got it from another on-line site long ago and have adapted it to my tastes. It is a "real Italian" calzone because there is no tomato sauce inside of it. I serve it with warmed tomato/marinara sauce to dip or pour over top! Feel free to change the filling to suit your own tastes! This makes a massive amount of calzone but it freezes well. I usually bake only 1 calzone (which will serve about 4 people) and freeze the other.

- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- When the dough is ready, punch it down and separate it into two equal parts. Roll the halves individually out into thin circles on a lightly floured surface.
- Fill one half of each circle with half of the filling mixture and fold over. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
- Brush the top of each calzone with the egg wash and place on a greased cookie sheet.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Brown sausage in a small skillet in a drizzle of olive oil. Transfer the cooked crumbled sausage to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Combine sausage with ricotta, parsley, garlic, Parmigiano, nutmeg, pepper, and pimento. Roll out doughs and halve cross-wise. Place a dough rectangle on a nonstick cookie sheet. Use 1/2 cup mozzarella on half of each dough rectangle and pile a mound of filling on half of the total area. Fold dough over and pinch edges to seal. The result is a rectangular turnover.
- For half-moon shaped calzones, trim excess dough. Roll dough bits into strips, tie in knots and brush with garlic oil and cheese. Garlic knots are fun to dip at the table.
- Bake calzones 15 minutes or until golden all over. Serve calzones with warm tomato, marinara, or pizza sauce for dipping.
- Cook's Note: For an additional time saver, 2 packages precooked sausage crumbles, 8 ounces each, may be substituted for raw Italian sausage used in the above recipe.
- Add olive oil to medium saucepan over moderate heat. Add garlic and crushed pepper to the heated olive oil; when pepper snaps and garlic sizzles, stir in crushed tomatoes. Season sauce with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for five minutes and stir in parsley. Serve.

Steps:
- To begin with the Homemade Italian Calzones first, let's start with making the dough.
- In a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast along with the sugar. Add the warm water and mix gently.
- Cover and let it proof for about 5 minutes. If the yeast is active and good, it will bubble and froth.
- Now add the Del Monte olive oil, salt and 3 or more cups of flour. Mix well to form a soft dough and knead for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased or oiled bowl, roll it to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl and place in a warm place to rise until doubled, about 2 hours
- Now in a pressure cooker, place the tomatoes, onions, and green chillies and give one whistle.
- Remove and blend it to a smooth paste with the garlic.
- Pour this into a deep pan, add the tomato puree or paste, salt, oregano and Italian seasoning, mix well and bring to boil.
- Once it comes to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Centigrade.
- Take 2 inch balls of the dough and roll into a medium thin circle. On one-half of the circle, layer the bell pepper, onions, mushrooms, green chillies, Del Monte olives and cheese.
- Divide the fillings among the calzones.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and seal the edges.
- Place the uncooked calzones onto greased baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes till they are well baked and light golden brown.
- You can brush the top of the calzones with any Olive oil before baking; these give a brown crust to the calzone.
- Serve these warm calzones with the hot prepared sauce on the side.
- You can serve them with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese for a more authentic Italian touch.
- Raw Mango And Spring Onion dip can be served along with the Calzones for your house parties.

REAL ITALIAN CALZONES
This is real calzone, because there is no tomato sauce INSIDE of it! We eat it at least once a week. Have a bowl of tomato or spaghetti sauce on the table for people to top their calzone with, if desired.

PINWHEEL ITALIAN CALZONES
From allrecipes.com: "Once you try these mini calzones, you may never go back to fixing the large ones again! These calzones come together in a snap, and are a great way to sneak a few veggies into your kid's diet. The best part is they are small so it makes it easy for little hands to pick up and eat. Plus they taste like pizza and there's even a dipping sauce!" Reviewers commented that sauteing the vegetables made everything even tastier, and one reviewer thought that substituting refrigerated pizza dough for the crescent dough would be an even better bet. Either way, these calzones sound great!
