Calzone (Bread Machine)
"You can create your own fillings for this very easy calzone. I don't use the pepperoni, but substitute cooked, chopped spinach. You can also add sauteed onions and peppers, olives, ricotta cheese...etc. I have also made small individual calzones to dip in Marinara Sauce...heaven! Kids love these."

- 1 1⁄4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon basil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon powdered milk

directions
- Place water, salt, basil, oregano, garlic powder, bread flour, dry milk, sugar, and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
- Select Dough cycle.
- After cycle ends, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, shaping into a 16 x 10 inch rectangle.
- Transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together chopped pepperoni and mozzarella.
- Spoon pizza sauce in a stripe down the center of dough lengthwise; add sausage and cheese filling.
- Make diagonal cuts 1 1/2 inches apart down each side, cutting within a 1/2 inch of the filling.
- Criss cross strips over filling, sealing with water.
- Brush top with melted butter.
- You can just fold over the sides without cutting the strips to make this process easier.

I made this last night for supper for the family last night. My family loved it. Since I don't have a bread machine I mixed the dough and let the dough raise in a bowl covered with a cloth and then punched it down and let it raise the second time. I followed the rest of the recipe. It was delicious. -
This is a wonderful recipe.It was easy to prepare with fantastic results.I added capicoli and pepperoni along with sauteed onions and garlic. My family loved it and asked to make it a regular menu item. My 5 yr old daughter's response was " I'm gonna make this for my kids when I grow up yumm" Thank you for a great recipe!!!

feel like I should reserve judgement...wasn't crazy about it, but the bread was good. Would be worth trying again but I wasn't saying "mmm" or anything. -
I made this dough and shaped it into 2 half moon calzones. I used the recipe for cheesesteak calzone for the filling idea. -
I have never had Calzones before, I admit, but I found this recipe( it looked easy!). I found it to be very good! I do work with bread recipes, so I changed only a few things. I added 1 tblsp. oil, reduced the sugar to just a dash, added diastastic malt powder, and omitted the milk. It really was good. I'm sure the recipe is great as written, too!

I used half the dough from this recipe for calzones, and used the other half to make a small loaf of bread to accompany another meal. Both were excellent! I didn't have powdered milk, so eliminated that without any apparent problem. I also used freshly minced garlic instead of garlic powder. Thanks for a terrific recipe! -
Wow this was really good! I made it for a birthday party and it was a hit. I added some ground sausage to it and instead of adding melted butter, I used olive oil before baking it which made the dough more pliable and easy to seal before putting it in the oven. I also noticed that I didn't have oregano on hand, so I used 1tsp or so of italian seasoning and it came out great. Thanks!

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago. Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here: <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p>
<p> When I have time for myself, I love to do all things artistic...drawing, pastels, paper craft, scrapbooking, and most recently jewelry making. I have set up a website on ETSY ( shown on this page by my website)and you can go there and see my creations.<img title=Cool src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></a> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /></p>
