Quick and Easy Calzone

The great thing about this recipe is that you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand. There are many different variations to the Calzone. The original recipe I found was for a broccoli and cheese calzone using simply ricotta cheese, cooked broccoli, and mozzarella. I decided at the last minute not to go this route and to make the calzone my own. Traditionally, however, Italians would make calzones using leftover vegetables from the day before. So use your imagination and put your own spin on this easy to make recipe!

1 can refrigerated Pillsbury pizza dough
1/4 cup of Ricotta cheese (more or less depending on your taste)
1 cup of marinara sauce or pizza sauce
1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 roma tomato sliced
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
4 thinly sliced cloves of garlic
1/4 cup of diced ham
2 tbs of melted butter

Heat oven to 425. Roll out the pizza dough onto a pizza stone or pan. Spread Ricotta cheese over the dough leaving an inch of dough around the edges. Spread pizza sauce on top of the ricotta. Add garlic. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, ham, and/or other toppings of your choice. Sprinkle liberally with mozzarella. Carefully fold over and bring the edges up and pinch together to keep sealed. brush top with melted butter and bake for 15 minutes.
