Simple...the dough is the hard part
ingredients
pizza dough
12 ounces ricotta cheese
1.5 cups mozzarella, grated
garlic to taste, 2-3 cloves minced
chopped broccoli (optional)
sliced ham or pepperoni (optional)
other ingredients as desired
spaghetti sauce (optional)
directions
I often make pizza dough in the bread machine. A 1.5 pounds batch of dough will make 9 calzones. Pull it out and divide into 9 pieces. Roll each piece into a 6 inch circle. Mix together 12 ounces ricotta cheese and 1.5 cups grated mozzarella and some garlic (a few cloves, minced).
If you're using the ham and/or broccoli, put them on the dough.
Put about 1/2 cup of the cheese onto the circle of dough. Fold the dough in half, pinch the seams, press down with a fork on the edges. Brush with melted butter. (Children can do this part!) Bake them at 450 for 10 minutes.
My girls like them plain and eat them with their hands. I put spaghetti sauce and parmesan on top of them and eat them with a knife and fork.
