Super Easy Calzones

Yummy homemade dinner in 35 minutes.  Ahhh.  This is one of my new go-to recipes when I forget to thaw the meat or when we have stuff to do in the evenings.  :)  The kids LOVE to help add toppings, so it's a fun family event, too. 

  • 1 package Pillsbury Pizza Pie crust (sold with their packaged biscuits)
  • any pizza toppings you'd like, we've used all of the following at one point or another: sausage, pepperoni, ham, pineapple, onion, fresh cut tomato, diced jalepenos
  • 1/4 cup (approx) pizza sauce, such as Ragu.
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 TBS water
  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Lightly oil pizza pan.  Unroll pizza dough directly onto prepared pan and using rolling pin to flatten.  Place pizza toppings onto dough, leaving about an inch around the side.  Top with sauce and cheese.  (I usually add a little bit of garlic powder or onion powder to the sauce).  Fold over and press around edges to seal. 
  3. Mix egg yolk and water and brush onto dough.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.  Allow to cool about 5 minutes before serving.
