Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook about 4-5 minutes, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon as you go along. Add mushrooms and continue cooking until sausage is done and no longer pink.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix well the ricotta, mozzarella, and basil. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Roll out each biscuit onto a lightly floured work surface using a rolling pin. Roll/flatten until double in size (6"-7" in diameter).
- When sausage mixture is done, drain well on paper towels, patting down well to remove as much grease/oil as you can. Add to cheese mixture. Blending well.
- To the rolls, place about 2 heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the center, keeping away from the sides. Using a pastry brush, brush around HALF of the edges. DO NOT BRUSH ALL AROUND OR IT WILL NOT STICK TOGETHER.
- Fold rolls in half over the filling (fold the un-brushed side onto the brushed side). Seal the edges by gently pressing the tines of a fork around the folded edge.
- Place onto ungreased baking sheet (best to use parchment or a silpat underneath) Brush tops with remaining eggwash and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Using the tip of a sharp knife, pierce hole in top of calzones to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown. Let sit a few minutes before serving with marinara sauce.

Steps:
- Place the frozen rolls (or frozen bread loaves) on a baking sheet to thaw. Cover with a tea towel and let thaw and rise for 2 to 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and allow to cook for a couple of minutes. Add the sausage and cook until brown, crumbling the sausage as you stir. Add the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Remove from the skillet and allow to cool on a plate.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, some pepper, parsley and 2 eggs.
- When the sausage is cool, stir it into the cheese mixture and set aside.
- When the rolls are thawed and risen, roll them out on a lightly floured surface until paper thin. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of the filling onto half of the dough circle. Fold half of the dough over itself, and then press the edges to seal.
- Brush the surface of each calzone with the beaten egg, and then bake until nice and golden brown, 10 to 13 minutes. Serve with warm Marinara Sauce.
- Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil into a hot pan over medium-high heat and throw in the garlic and chopped onions and give them a stir.
- Now add the wine (or chicken broth), whisking to deglaze the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the liquid reduces by half.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of sugar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Toward the end of the cooking process, chop up your fresh parsley and basil and add it to the sauce to taste, stirring to combine.

Steps:
- For the dough: Lightly oil a large bowl. Combine the yeast, salt, sugar and 2 1/4 cups of the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and stir to combine. With the mixer running, add the water and oil. Beat until the dough comes together, about 2 minutes. If the dough is too wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is still soft and slightly sticky, but you can turn it out. Transfer the dough to the oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- For the calzones: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix together the mozzarella, ricotta and Parmesan in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Lightly flour a work surface. Turn out the dough and divide it into 4 pieces. Gently pull and stretch each piece of dough into a 7- to 8-inch round, trying to keep the thickness of the dough fairly even. Lay out the rounds and spoon one-quarter of the cheese mixture onto one side of each round (about 1/2 cup per round). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the Homemade Pizza Sauce onto the cheese. Add up to 1/3 cup of your preferred topping onto each of the calzones, then fold the side of the dough over the fillings. Fold and crimp the edges to seal them completely.
- Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet and brush them lightly with oil. Use a sharp paring knife to cut 1 or 2 vents into each, then bake until deep golden brown, about 18 minutes.
- Serve with additional Homemade Pizza Sauce on the side, if desired.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oregano, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, with the saucepan loosely covered in foil to avoid splattering and stirring occasionally, until fairly thick, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your tomatoes. Remove the basil.

Tips:
- For the best results, use cold butter and buttermilk. This will help to create a flaky crust.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking will make the dough tough.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more buttermilk.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Rolling too hard will make the dough tough.
- Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the calzones. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Serve the calzones hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
