Calzones

Recipe from Southern Living Magazine April 2008
Pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
1 15 oz container ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1-1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 cup pizza sauce
Filling of choice (chicken, sausage, pepperoni, veggies, etc)
2 cups Italian Cheese

Preheat oven to 425.

Cook meat and/or veggies until done.

Stir together ricotta, eggs, and seasoning.

Roll out pizza dough. Spoon 1/4 cup pizza sauce, 1 cup ricotta mixture, and half of filling on half of the pizza dough leaving a 1 inch border.
Sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese. Moisten edges of dough with water; fold dough over, pressing and crimping edges to seal.

Cut 3 one inch slots on top of dough to allow steam to escape. Repeat procedure to make second calzone.

Bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
