    List of Ingredients




    For dough:
    1 package (16 ounces hot roll mix)
    1 1/4 cups hot water
    2 teaspoons olive oil

    For filling:
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1 teaspoons minced garlic
    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    1 teaspoons butter
    1 package (16 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
    3 cups (12 ounces) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
    1 cup (4 ounces) Parmesan cheese, shredded
    1/2 cup sour cream

    For garlic butter:
    2 teaspoons butter
    1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
    1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    For filling:
    Saute onion, garlic and red pepper in butter in medium skillet until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach, cheeses and sour cream; remove from heat.

    Preheat oven to 375F.

    Make hot roll mix according to package directions for pizza, replacing egg and butter with hot water and olive oil. Let dough stand 5 minutes.

    Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into an oval about 5 x 7 inches.

    Place 1/2 cup cheese filling in center of oval; bring up edges and seal securely. Transfer calzone to a lightly greased baking sheet, placing seal side up to form a "football" shape. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Set calzones in warm place to rise, covered with towel, 25 minutes.

    Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

    For garlic butter:
    In a small skillet, heat butter and garlic over low heat until butter is melted and garlic is tender, about 3 minutes.

    Remove calzones from oven when lightly browned. Brush hot calzones with garlic butter and sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.

    Return to oven until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

    To Make Ahead:
    Calzones can be baked and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance. Reheat at 350F until hot, about 20 minutes.

    Servings: 8
