Smoky Pork Calzones
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 pound pizza dough, thawed if frozen
- 4 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces ground pork
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella (about 2 cups)
- 6 cups mixed greens
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into quarters; cover with a towel.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add 2 teaspoons paprika and cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
- Stir in the bell pepper and cook until slightly softened, about 2 more minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir once or twice to cool slightly.
- Pat and stretch each portion of dough into a rough 8-inch round.
- Pile the pork mixture and mozzarella on one side of the rounds, leaving a 1/2-inch border, then fold the dough over the filling.
- Pinch and crimp the edges to seal.
- Mix 1/2 tablespoon olive oil with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika; brush over the calzones.
- Cut a 1-inch vent in each.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the calzones.
- Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the greens with the vinegar and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with the calzones.
