Calzones

Calzones are delicious and very easy to make. In this recipe, I fill them with salami and pepperoni but feel free to use your favorite Italian meats. You can also use 1lb of cooked Italian Sausage instead of the sliced meat.
8 slices of salami
24 slices of pepperoni
6 slices of Provolone cheese
1 container of Pillsbury pizza dough- use the regular thicker crust if it's available
1 jar of pizza sauce
1 Tbsp of olive oil
A sprinkle of herbs- you can use an Italian seasoning blend or a combination of rosemary, oregano, garlic powder and red pepper flakes
Preheat oven to 425. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Spread the pizza dough on the cookie sheet and cut into fourths. Layer each piece of dough with 2 slices of salami, 1 slice of provolone, 6 slices of pepperoni and a 1/2 slice of provolone. Roll up calzones and place on baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix olive oil with a sprinkle Italian seasonings. Brush mixture on the calzones and bake for 15 min or until golden brown. Serve with pizza sauce.
