Calzone
I like the crust on pizza so it is a natural transition to calzone. These are, excuse me Tony at Aponte’s Pizza, folded pizzas. Just like pizza they are very good with any ingredients you wish to put inside. On this recipe I call for cheese and roasted red peppers. I used the ones in a jar from the grocery, but you can put cooked sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions whatever you would put on top of a pizza tucked inside. Use pizza sauce or any good store-bought tomato sauce that you like.
Served golden brown and steamy, right from the oven, they will give you an alternative to the pizza you usually serve. Your family will love them and you will appreciate the ease of preparation and clean up.
