Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, stirring frequently, until no longer pink; drain. Stir in 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce, the pepperoni and basil. Set aside.
  • 2
    Unroll dough. Cut dough in half crosswise; cut each section in half lengthwise. On cookie sheet, press or roll each dough portion into 7x5-inch rectangle. Spoon sausage mixture and cheese on one side of each rectangle. Fold dough over filling; press edges firmly with fork to seal.
  • 3
    Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Heat remaining 1/2 cup marinara sauce; serve with warm calzones.

  • Set up a DIY filling buffet for the kids so they can make their own pizza pockets. Note: You may need to double the recipe so there’s enough dough (depending on the headcount).
  • If you don’t have fresh basil, top your pepperoni calzone with a generous spoonful of dried Italian herb seasoning or crushed rosemary leaves.
  • Line flat cookie sheets with baking parchment sprayed with cooking spray for easy clean-up.
  • If you don't have bite-size sliced pepperoni, chop regular pepperoni before stirring it into the sausage mixture.
