Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough store-bought or homemade, about 2 lbs
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ½ cup diced candian bacon or ham
  • ½ cup pepperoni
  • ½ cup sausage cooked and crumbled
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat a sheet pan with cookie spray and set aside.
  • Divide the pizza dough into 4 pieces. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape into balls and then roll into ¼ inch thick ovals.
  • Spoon pizza sauce onto one side of the oval. Top with cheese, canadian bacon, pepperoni and sausage. Fold dough in half; dampen seams with water and pinch together then crimp edges all around. Transfer to prepared baking sheets.
  • In a small bowl combine butter, garlic powder and parsley. Brush the tops of the calzones with mixture. Using a serrated knife, slit the tops of the calzones in 2 to 3 spots to create steam vents.
  • Place baking sheet in preheated oven and baking 15-17 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven. Let cool 5 minutes before cutting open.
