Spicy Calzones

Posted by Diana Neal at recipegoldmine.com May 16, 2001

4 lrg. hot Italian Sausages
4 C. grated mozzarella cheese
1 C. sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 tsp. cayenne
Pizza dough
Marinara sauce for dipping

When dough is ready, preheat oven to 500 degrees F and oil a lrg. baking sheet.

Fry sausages until done and slice into 1/4-in. rounds. Place in a lrg. bowl and add cheese, mushrooms, garlic and cayenne. Toss well.

Cut dough into 8 rounds and roll out each into 6-in. circles. Share the wealth of filling with each round, moisten edges with water, fold over, press lightly and seal/crimp.

Place on sheet and lightly oil tops of calzone-sometimes I dust with parmesan cheese. Bake for about 12 min.

Serve hot with warmed marinara sauce. Optional-olives and thinly sliced onions or use bacon and ham in place of sausages.
