Easy Calzones

With the BOGO sale on pizza dough I wanted to remind you that there are dinner options besides pizza! Why not whip up an Easy Calzone for dinner?

The great thing about a Calzone is that you can customize them for each person in your family. At my house, we all like totally different things. When it comes time for dinner I take requests and build each calzone to specifically for each person.

You can also make the calzones in different sizes. So for my boys, I only need a quarter of a dough ball but I use a half dough ball for the adult versions. That means that I have to buy two dough balls. So I end up with one extra calzone that turns into yummy leftovers.

Now all of my guys prefer their calzone with “sauce in” but I like to make mine without sauce and then just dip it in the a bowl of sauce after it’s cooked. That way I control how much sauce I get per bite.
