Bread dough makes it a breeze to assemble these savory turnovers. If you have a favorite pizza dough, use it instead. These freeze well and once they are frozen, they can be heated in half an hour. -Lee Ann Lowe, Gray, Maine

These calzones were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
