Jacob's Calzones


Superstar Jacob wanted to have a pizza party... so why not?!
Instead of regular flat pizzas, we made calzones. Use the same process of pizza topping, but just roll up and bake until golden. These pockets of delight put a smile on everyone's face- and it's a great way to put your kids to work in the kitchen.



Toppings we used:
- mozarella, caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, fresh home made San Marzano marinara sauce, cooked and crumbled merguez sausages, and fresh basil.

- You'll need 2 balls fresh or frozen pizza dough, thawed and split into 6 small rounds. (you can make it healthy without telling your kids too.... Jacob didn't know the dough was whole wheat!)


1. Roll out the dough balls in flour (so they don't stick).
2. Preheat oven to 425
3. Get your guests to put the toppings of their choice
4. Roll in the sides and then roll up. The seam will be top-side up, but take a spatula and get underneath, flip and place on your tray, so it's seamside down.
5. Brush olive oil on each, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and have your guests put their own signature on it (a piece of basil, some extra cheese, etc.) so they know which one they made.
6. Bake for 30-40 minutes.


Moolicious!
