Calzones (Freezer Friendly)

I don't think words can describe how much I love these! They turned out better than I could have ever expected. I have already taken these for lunch a few times and are perfect (Even when eating them cold). This is a perfect way to create personalized meals in a simple way. I hope you have fun making them your very own!

Ingredients
Dough:
4 cups Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 1/2 tablespoons Yeast
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 1/2 cups Warm Water

Filling:
1/2 lbs Sausage
Mozzarella
Parmesan
Fresh Spinach
Pizza/Pasta sauce for the filling

Optional:
Sauteed onion
Sauteed zucchini
Red pepper
Olives
Or what ever else you want to add

Topping:
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Basil
1 teaspoon Garlic


Instructions:

  1. Add flour, salt, and yeast to a mixer. Pulse until well mixed. Add olive oil and pulse again.
  2. Turn mixer on and while running pour in warm water. Let mixer run until dough pulls away from the edges and forms a ball.
  3. Cover dough and let it rise till it is double in size.
  4. Take handfuls of the dough and roll out into 6 inch circles. Fill dough then fold dough into a half circle and seal.
  5. Place on a greased cookie sheet and brush with topping. Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
  6. To Freeze: After baking cool and wrap in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag.
  7. To Reheat: Unwrap from plastic wrap and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes or until thawed. Microwave then for 30-60 seconds.
