Cheesy Calzones by Chef Garion

What you need:

1 package of pepperoni
2 packages of pizza dough mix
1/3 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon fat free milk
1 tablespoon shredded parmesan cheese
pizza sauce for dipping

Cheesy Calzones

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, and lightly coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil. Set aside.

Follow the directions on your pizza mix packages. We added water, mixed it up into a ball, and then coated the outside in olive oil.

Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin.

Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough rectangle in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise. You should have 4 rectangles; you will have a total of 8 calzones after using both pizza mix packages.

Use the small spoon to spread some of the 1/3 cup pizza sauce onto each dough rectangle.

Sprinkle one side of each dough rectangle with some of the pepperoni.
