Use this one basic recipe to create a vegetarian broccoli-and-cheese version and a more traditional pepperoni version (we've used healthier turkey pepperoni-no one will know the difference). Make the calzones up to a day in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake. Prep: 20 minutes; Cook: 30 minutes. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 1/2 cups frozen broccoli florets, thawed and drained |
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, divided |
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup prepared tomato sauce (such as spaghetti or pizza sauce) |
2 packages pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough |
1/4 cup sliced turkey pepperoni (such as hormel) |
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450º. Coat 1 large baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 2 minutes, until soft. Add oregano and stir to coat.
3. Divide the onion mixture between two medium bowls. Set aside.
4. Add broccoli to skillet; cook 3 minutes, until broccoli is crisp-tender. Remove from heat, and set aside.
5. In one medium bowl, to onion mixture, add broccoli, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and salt. Mix well to combine; set aside.
6. In the other medium bowl, to onion mixture, add 1/4 cup ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and tomato sauce. Mix well to combine, and set aside.
7. Unroll dough onto baking sheet; half each roll so there are four squares. For 2 of them: Top one side of dough with broccoli mixture, to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold untopped side over, so dough meets the other side, forming a half-moon. Pinch the edges to seal together. For the remaining 2: Top one side of dough with pepperoni slices. Top the pepperoni with cheese mixture, to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold untopped side over, and pinch edges together to seal.
8. Brush the tops of calzones with the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil, and sprinkle the tops with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
9. Bake 25 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing in half (or wait until party to slice); serve warm or at room temperature.
