Why recepie famous for?

Be a parent of the year when you send your kids back to school with mini pepperoni calzones. They’re easy to make in bulk and freeze.

Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
1/2 cup pizza sauce, plus more for dipping
2 oz sliced pepperoni, cut into quarters
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Divide the pizza dough into 10 pieces, approximately an ounce and a half each. Roll into balls and set aside for 30 minutes to rest.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Flatten each ball into a disc and gently stretch it out like a mini pizza crust.
Spread a scant tablespoon of pizza sauce on each circle, leaving a quarter inch margin around the edge. Top with 4 or 5 quarters of pepperoni, then top with a pinch of mozzarella cheese.
Fold each circle in half, and firmly pinch the edges together with your fingertips.
Place all of the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for approximately 15 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove to a wire rack to cool. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
