Calzone

OK, I know it seems like I'm going crazy posting on here twice today, but as mentioned earlier, I am at parent teacher conference night. NO ONE ever want's to see me. I'm the music teacher and most everyone will get an A in my class, so I'll spend the 2.5 hours that I have to be here alone and bored. So sad.

Because I am so incredibly bored right now, I thought I'd just share my way of calzone making. I'll post pictures tomorrow when I actually make it. I can't believe I've become so lame!

Here's what I use:

1 Pillsbury Crusty French Loaf

Ham

Spinach

green/red Peppers

onions

lots of cheese

what ever fresh herbs you have handy

Salt and Pepper and some Olive Oil

And here's what I do:

Unroll the Pillsbury loaf onto whatever you're baking it on. (I'm using my pizza stone) It should make a sort of square so visualize a diagonal line across it and start loading up one half with all of your toppings. Once you're loaded, fold the other side of the square over and make a triangle, covering and sealing in all of your toppings. Make a few small slices in the dough so that it can breath and drizzle Olive oil over the top of the clazone. Bake @ 400 for about 25 minutes. Check it every so often to make sure the dough isn't getting too dark. If necessary, cover with foil.

Meanwhile, the sauce.

You'll need

1 Onion chopped

1 28oz can of crushed tomatoes

3 TBS garlic

2 TBS crushed red peppers

Thyme

Salt and Pepper

Heat a skillet to medium and sautee the onion until clear with a drizzle of olive oil. Dump in the tomatoes and the rest of the ingredients and let it sit covered on low. Watch it and stir occasionally.

Thats It! Cut it in two and eat it on the couch while watching a redbox. At least that's what I plan on doing! :)
