Stuffed Calzone RecipeThis calzone recipe is really just pizza dough folded over and stuffed with a variety of tasty ingredients. Originating in Naples, this word literally translates as "trouser leg" - named as such because it resembles the puffy pant legs that Neopolitan men used to wear a very long time ago. Outerwear never tasted so good! 
Serves 4 Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 475ºF. Punch the dough down and kneed it lightly. Divide it into 4 balls. Using a rolling pin dusted with flour, roll each abll into a flat circle about 1/4 inch thick. In a medium bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients and mix. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the filling onto one half of each of the circles (leaving a 1 inch border along the edge). Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together with your fingers to form a seal. Put the calzoni on a sprayed or oiled baking sheet or pan. Brush the top with olive oil and season (if you like) with a dusting of garlic powder. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the calzoni are puffy. Enjoy!
