Calzones

This is a recipe that dates back to when I was a working mom and had to get a dinner on the table that the kids would eat in a fairly timely manner.  It does not involve a lot of work and kids do eat it!  You can either use my super simple pizza dough (posted already) or if you really want to make it easy on yourself..buy that Rhodes frozen bread dough...take it out of the freezer before you leave for work and it will be ready to use when you get home:)

1 loaf Rhodes bread dough, defrosted  ( or one batch of my pizza dough)
1 jar pizza sauce
2 c. mozzarella cheese,  grated :  save yourself more time by buying it already grated
pepparoni,  Canadian bacon, olives, etc. --use whatever you like on a pizza


Roll out the bread dough into a 10 x 16 rectangle on a floured surface.  Cut into 3" wide strips.
On 1/2 the strip layer some cheese and whatever other topping you like.  Fold the other 1/2 of the strip over the filling.  Press edges closed with a fork.  Place on greased baking sheet.  Repeat for other strips.
Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes.  Heat the pizza sauce and serve either as a dipping sauce or spooned over the top of baked calzones.  YUM!
