Steps:
- 1. In large saucepan, saute onion and garlic in 1 tbsp of olive oil till onion is clear. Add tomato sauce and tomato paste and heat till slow simmer. Add pizza seasoning, salt and pepper and cover... simmer for about 20 minutes or so or till sauce has thickened. then set aside to cool.
- 2. Roll out pizza dough to about 1/2 to 1/4 inch thick and cut into rectangles roughly about the size of your hand ( can make them smaller if you want to use as an appetizer )
- 3. Preheat oven to 425. Place pizza rectangles on a baking sheet. On each rectangle, spread about 2 to 3 tbsp pizza sauce , or til dough is covered to within a half inch from borders.
- 4. top with your favorite toppings and fold over the crust empanada style. Seal edges and cut steam vents in the top. If making different kinds you can use a paring knife to mark each one different so you know which "pizza" is which.
- 5. Pop them in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or till crust is a light golden brown. Let rest 5 - 10 minutes before serving.
- 6. Some variations I've tried: sauteed mushrooms and green peppers, pepperoni, italian sausage, ham and pineapple, roasted veggie, Hamburger & cheddar, 4 cheese, just to name a few. If you choose, you can serve them with a small bowl of warmed up pizza sauce on the side for dipping
- 7. If making the larger sized, you can get about 6 servings per tube of refridgerator pizza dough. Appetizer size you can get approximately 12 to 18 servings per tube.

Tips for Making Perfect Stuffed Calzones:
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to get creative with your fillings. You can use anything from classic Italian ingredients like mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan cheese to more unique fillings like roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or even pulled pork.
- Don't overstuff the calzones: Calzones should be filled but not overstuffed. If you overstuff them, they will be difficult to seal and will likely burst open during baking.
- Seal the calzones properly: To prevent the filling from leaking out, it is important to seal the calzones properly. You can do this by using a fork to crimp the edges of the dough together.
- Bake the calzones until they are golden brown: Calzones should be baked at a high temperature (450°F) until they are golden brown. This will ensure that the dough is cooked through and the filling is heated all the way through.
Conclusion:
Stuffed calzones are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. With a little creativity, you can create endless flavor combinations that will satisfy everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give stuffed calzones a try. You won't be disappointed!
