Italian Hero Calzones
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 1/4 cup snipped sun-dried tomato packed in oil
- 3 ounces thinly sliced smoked turkey or 3 ounces pepperoni, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped pitted ripe olives
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)
- 2 (10 ounce) packages pizza dough (refrigerated or frozen)
- parmesan cheese (finely shredded or grated)
- cayenne pepper (optional)
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0F.
- Lightly grease a very large baking sheet and sprinkle with cornmeal, set aside.
- Drain tomatoes well, reserving oil.
- In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, turkey and/or pepperoni, and olives.
- Stir in the mozzarella cheese.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each package of pizza dough to a 12 x 9 rectangle.
- Using a 3 inch round cutter, cut each rectangle into ten 3 inch circles.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the meat/cheese mix slightly off centre on each dough circle.
- Fold dough over mixture, forming a semicircle.
- Seal the edge of each semicircle with the tines of a fork.
- Place the calzones on a prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the reserved oil from tomatoes and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and, if desired, cayenne pepper.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until calzones are golden.
- Serve warm.
- MAKE AHEAD: Prepare and bake calzones as directed.
- Remove to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Place the calzones in a freezer container or freezer bag.
- Seal, label and freeze for up to 2 months.
- To reheat, preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
- Place the frozen calzones on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until heated through.
- If necessary, cover loosely with foil to prevent overbrowning.
