Calzone

 Ingredients

Pizza Crust 

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)

1/4 pound salami, cut into thin strips

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped

Freshly ground pepper

1 large egg, slightly beaten

Lighter Calzone: For 8 grams of fat and 350 calories per serving, use reduced-fat mozzarella cheese and fat-free ricotta cheese; substitute cooked chicken for the salami.

Directions

1. Make dough for Pizza Crust; let rest 30 minutes.
2. Heat oven to 375°.  Grease 2 cookie sheets.
3. Divide dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into 7-inch circle on lightly floured surface with floured rolling pin. ( I couldn't find a rolling pin once so I used the next best thing a large circular plastic drink container haha)
4. Top half of each dough circle with mozzarella cheese, salami, ricotta cheese, basil and tomatoes to within 1 inch of edge.  Sprinkle with pepper.  Carefully fold dough over filling; pinch edges or press with fork to seal securely.
5. Place calzones on cookie sheets.  Brush with egg.  Bake about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
