Description

Calzones are much like a homemade pizza pocket. They are easy to eat, especially on the run. This one is vegetarian, but you can fill them with your favorite ingredients.

Ingredients

• Filling:
• 2 1/4 c. whole milk Ricotta cheese
• 3 c. Mozzarella cheese, grated
• 3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 egg whites
• cornmeal
• egg wash = 1 egg + 1 T. water
• garlic salt, to taste
• dried parsley
• marinara sauce, for dipping

Steps

1. Stir together all filling ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
2. After the dough has risen for about 45 minutes, punch it down and divide the dough into thirds. Divide each third into 4 pieces so there will be 12 equal size pieces.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out each piece of dough into an 8 inch circle. Spread an equal amount of cheese filling onto half of the circle. Leave a 1 inch border around the edge. Wet your finger with water and spread onto the border. Fold the dough over the filling; crimp edge with a fork so cheese filling stays inside as it bakes.
