Stuffed Calzones

Submitted by Winnipeg Mel

"Forget about ordering in! These hearty stuffed "pizzas", filled with smoky ham and cheese are less expensive than take-out and a snap to bake. Just stock up on prepared pizza dough-readily available in the refrigerated or frozen food sections of the supermarkets."

What a great recipe! Instead of sliced ham I used Diced Ham Dinner Starter recipe#120521 and I used Bread Machine Pizza Dough With Whole Wheat Flour by Cookin-jo recipe#137143 for the dough. I made these when a friend came for lunch and these were devoured by all. I made half with ham and the others with pepperoni. This recipe is very flexible and you can add any toppings that you wish. These freeze great too for an easy snack or lunch, Thanks Mel!
