Only two things in the world are too serious to be joked about ...pizza and marriage. On to business. The filling for this calzone is based on, and similar to, a Giada De Laurentiis recipe. I use "My Go To Pizza Dough"& "Quick Pizza Sauce" recipes. You can use any dough or sauce recipe you choose...if you want to be a poop. This is a little labor intensive, but oh so worth it. —MTDavids

Ingredients
-
1
recipe "My Go To Pizza Dough" (use 1/3 rd and freeze the rest)
-
1
recipe "Quick Pizza Sauce"
-
1 cup
diced pepperoni sausage, 1/4" dice
-
1/2 cup
diced hard salami, 1/4 " dice
-
1 cup
diced provolone cheese, 1/4" dice
-
1 cup
diced mozzarella cheese, 1/4" dice
-
1 cup
diced havarti or gouda cheese, 1/4" dice
-
1/4 cup
diced onion
-
3
large garlic stuffed green olives, chopped
-
1/4 cup
jarred roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
-
5
large pepperoncini peppers, seeded and chopped
-
1/4 cup
olive oil +more for the baking sheet
-
1
egg, beaten with 1 tsp. water
-
all-purpose flour, for dusting
Directions
-
In a small fry pan, cook the pepperoni and salami over medium low heat to render some of the fat. Remove to paper towels and allow to cool.
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
-
In a large bowl, mix 1/4 cup oil, the cheeses, pepperoni, salami, the peppers, onion, and olives. Set aside.
-
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 13-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the dough to an oiled heavy baking sheet by draping half of the dough over the baking sheet.
-
Put the cheese mixture on 1 side of the dough leaving a 1-inch border. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg. Fold the unfilled side of the dough over the filling and using the tines of a fork, press the edges together to seal.
-
Use remaining beaten egg for a glaze. Using a knife, cut a couple of slits in the top layer of the dough. Bake until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Cut the calzone into slices and serve with warm Quick Pizza Sauce on the side, if desired.
