Super Calzone

Submitted by Chef Desrochers

"This was an experiment with making our own pizza dough. You can also use frozen dough. We made it pretty big and ate off it for a while, but this recipe make enough for individual Calzones for your preference. Stuff with whatever you wish, can even make own pizza for sauce. Saves well in fridge and makes great left overs, especially for a quick lunch."

Made this PAC 2012 with good results. My guys aren't a big fan of feta cheese but I tried it in one of the calzone. The one without was preferred. The dough worked up great and was slightly sweeter than what we are used to. This made for a really great lunch for the guys and DH asked if he could take the leftovers in his lunch for work. Thanks for posting!
