I have wanted to put my electric skillet to use more often-this came together very well. I used Pizza Hut Style Pizza Dough (Bread Machine)-Pizza Hut Style Pizza Dough (bread machine)by Cullinaryjudge. Please follow those instructions if using that dough recipe.
Ingredients:
1 lb bulk hot italian sausage
1/4 cup fine chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded italian cheese blend (parmesan, asiago, romano & aged provolone)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Prepare pizza dough per instructions-see description.
2. In a large skillet cook hot italian sausage-break it up well.
3. Remove from skillet, add remaining ingredients except spaghetti sauce and cheese's.
4. Saute over medium heat until onions just begin to turn opaque.
5. Remove from heat-drain well.
6. In a medium bowl combine the cooked sausage, vegetables, spaghetti sauce, cheese's, pepper and salt.
7. Mix well.
8. Divide dough into 4 portions.
9. On a well floured surface roll each piece into a thin round.
10. Divide filling equally, placing each portion on one side of each dough round.
11. Fold dough over filling, pressing down lightly to remove air pockets.
12. Crimp and fold edges over to make a seal.
13. Repeat with remaining rounds.
14. Oil electric skillet with virgin olive oil.
15. Heat to 325 degrees.
16. Place two calzones in hot skillet, cover and cook 15 minutes.
17. Remove cover and carefully flip calzones.
18. Cook, uncovered for 15 minutes.
19. Remove from heat.
20. You may need to re-oil your skillet-repeat cooking procedure with remaining 2 calzones.
21. We like extra sauce to dip calzones in so I heated up 1 extra cup.
22. One Calzone with a salad filled the two of us up.
23. Prep time does NOT reflect dough prep-that depends on your bread machine.
24. Cooking time reflects 2 batches.
