Calzones

Submitted by SnowyowlPB

"This recipe was given to me by a friend that we shot pool with. She served it at a playoff match. I could would not leave her alone until she gave it to me. There are times that I cut this in half just for the two of us. When I do this I take the first Pizza Dough and cut it in half to make two smaller Calzones. So Enjoy !!!"
