Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 16 whole Frozen, Unrisen Dinner Rolls (I Use Rhodes) Note: Can Also Use Frozen Bread Loaves.
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 whole Medium Onion, Diced
- 1 pound Breakfast Or Italian Sausage
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 15 ounces, fluid Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1-1/2 cup Grated Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- Black Pepper To Taste
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
- Marinara Sauce, For Serving
- 1 whole Egg, Beaten
Instructions
- Place frozen rolls (or frozen bread loaves) on a baking sheet to thaw. Cover with a tea towel and let thaw and rise for 2 to 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and allow to cook for a couple of minutes. Add sausage and cook until brown, crumbling the sausage as you stir. Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on a plate.
- In a separate bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, eggs, salt, pepper, and parsley. When sausage is cool, stir it in. Set aside.
- When rolls are thawed and risen, roll them out on a lightly floured surface until paper thin. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons (approximately) filling onto half of the dough circle. Fold half of the dough over itself, then press edges to seal.
- *Note: If you want a larger calzone, use frozen bread loaves and use about 1/4 to 1/3 of the loaf for each calzone.
- Brush surface of calzone with beaten egg, then bake for 10-13 minutes, or until nice and golden brown. Serve with warm marinara sauce.
