Fry sausages until done and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Place in a large bowl and add cheese, mushrooms, garlic and cayenne. Toss well. Cut dough into 8 rounds and roll out each into 6-inch circles. Share the wealth of filling with each round, moisten edges with water, fold over, press lightly and seal/crimp. Place on sheet and lightly oil tops of calzone-sometimes I dust with parmesan cheese. Bake for about 12 minutes. Serve hot with warmed marinara sauce. Optional-olives and thinly sliced onions or use bacon and ham in place of sausages sandwich recipes Spinach Calzones 1 loaf frozen whole wheat bread dough 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach 2 eggs 1 cup ricotta cheese, about 1/2 pound 12 to 16 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg Spray a bread pan with Pam. Place frozen dough in the pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise. Defrost frozen spinach in a medium bowl. Remove spinach to squeeze out any excess moisture. In the same bowl you used to defrost spinach, combine eggs with ricotta cheese, nutmeg and spinach. Stir in mozzarella. Divide bread dough into quarters and roll into four 8-inch circles. Cover half of each dough circle with a quarter of the filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Fold dough over the filling to form a turnover. Press edges with the tines of a fork to seal. Spray a baking sheet with Pam and place calzones on it. Bake at 425 degrees F for 18 to 20 minutes, or until calzones are puffed and a deep golden brown. sandwich recipes Turkey Sausage and Pepper Calzones 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and sliced 2 tablespoons garlic, chopped 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough 1/2 pound Italian seasoned turkey sausage 1/2 cup ricotta cheese 1 cup shredded mozzarella 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese Cook onion and pepper in oil until soft, add garlic, then sausage until cooked through.

Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese. Place the dough-covered cheese on an ungreased baking sheet. 3. Bake the mini calzones until they are golden brown, about 12 minutes.
