Sunday Family Dinners: Calzones

I'm sharing this as a Sunday Family Dinner but really the Hubster made it on Saturday! See I have this really great deal, Saturdays are my DAYS OFF! From cooking anyways. Its the Hubsters day to cook for us! Really as a Stay At Home Mom, for me it was important to have a little break. Now that's not to say I never end up cooking but the idea is that I don't have to. He plans the meals and has gotten pretty good at a few things too! He makes the BEST pancakes and really AWESOME Pizza!

He decided to try his hand at a Calzone, and it was a huge hit! They were so good we asked him to make them again the next weekend!

Here's what you'll need:

Dough:

2 1/2- 3 cups Flour

1pkg Yeast

1/2 tsp Salt

1 cup warm Water

2 TBSP Olive Oil


Filling:

Pepperoni

Genoa Salami

Mozzarella Cheese

Colby Jack Cheese

8 TBSP Pizza Sauce

Here's how you make it:

In a large Mixing Bowl combine 1 1/4 cups Flour, the Yeast, and Salt; add the warm Water and Oil. Beat with an electric mixer, using a dough hook, until combined, scrape down the bowl and then Beat on high for about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed and add in as much of the remaining flour as you can. Continue to knead the dough with the mixer until it is a stiff dough that is smooth and elastic. Remove from the bowl, form into a ball, then divide into four pieces. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. On a floured surface roll each piece of the dough, into 8 inch circles. Place each circle onto a Pizza Stone. Place 2 TBSP Sauce onto the circle, then top with the remaining toppings on just one half. Using as much as you would like.  Leave about a 1 inch edge. Fold the dough in half, enclosing filling. Roll the bottom edges of the dough up on to the top edges sealing the dough. Cut a slit in the top of each Calzone. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Let cool then Serve.
