Ingredients




1 ball of your Favorite Homemade or Store Bought Pizza Dough
5 ounces of Pizza Cheese
1 pd of Sausage
5 ounces of Pepperoni
1 Onion, Chopped
3 cloves of Garlic
1 tablespoon of Fresh Basil (or 1 tsp Dry)
1 teaspoon of Oregano
1 jar of Pizza Sauce OR
14 Oz Can of Crushed Tomatoes
1 teaspoon of Onion Powder
1 teaspoon of Oregano
1/2 teaspoon of Salt
1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tablespoon of Fresh Basil or (1 tsp Dry)

Preparation

1 Start it off by cooking up your sausage. When your sausage is nearly cooked, add in the pepperoni and cook it up for a minute or two more until all the meat is cooked through. Drain off the fat. 2 Now add in the garlic, basil, oregano, and onion and let it cook up and get hot. Remove the mixture from heat. 3 Grab your dough ball, rip a good sized piece off and roll it out about 1/4″ thick. Grab your filling and spoon in a few decent sized spoonfuls. Be sure to leave enough room to fold it over and seal up your edges. 4 Fold the dough over your topping and seal the edges up. I rolled my edges into the top to seal it up. Be sure to cut a few slits in the top of calzone so that steam can release as it cooks in the oven. And this is optional, but I also brushed some egg white on the tops of these beauties to help them get a nice golden brown color in the oven. 5 Throw them in a preheated oven set to 425 for 15-20 minutes or until the top is a nice golden brown. I cooked mine on a preheated pizza stone to ensure the bottom had a nice, crispy crust. 6 For your sauce: 7 Add to your saucepan the tomatoes, onion powder, oregano, salt, olive oil, garlic and basil. Stir it all together and let it heat up.
