Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
Pizza dough for one 14-inch pizza
1 can (15 ounces) CONTADINA® Pizza Sauce, divided
3 ounces sliced pepperoni or 1/2 pound crumbled Italian sausage, cooked, drained
2 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup (8 ounces) ricotta cheese
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
1. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Place on lightly floured, large, rimless cookie sheet. Press or roll out dough to 7-inch circles.
2. Spread 2 tablespoons pizza sauce onto half of each circle to within 1/2 inch of edge; top with 1/4 each pepperoni, bell pepper and mozzarella cheese.
3. Spoon 1/4 cup ricotta cheese onto remaining half of each circle; fold dough over. Press edges together tightly to seal. Cut slits into top of dough to allow steam to escape.
4. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until crusts are golden brown. Meanwhile, heat remaining pizza sauce; serve over calzones.
Note If desired, 1 large calzone may be made instead of 4 individual calzones. To prepare, shape dough into 1 (13-inch) circle. Spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce onto half of dough; proceed as above. Bake for 25 minutes.
