Calzones

Calzones


I watched Pioneer Woman make these on her tv show and I immediately knew I had to make them myself.
They are the perfect size and they can be custom made to have anything you like inside!
Just remember that you need to prep in advance so that the frozen rolls have time to rise.

You will need:
16 whole Frozen, Unrisen Dinner Rolls (I Use Rhodes)
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 /2 Medium Onion, Diced
1 pound hamburger meat
½ teaspoons Italian Seasoning
1/8 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
15 ounces, fluid Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
½ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
1-½ cup Grated Mozzarella Cheese
2 whole Eggs
½ teaspoons Salt
Black Pepper To Taste
2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
Marinara Sauce, For Serving
1 whole Egg Beaten

Preparation Instructions
Place frozen rolls on a baking sheet to thaw. 
Cover with a tea towel and let thaw and rise for 2 to 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and allow to cook for a couple of minutes. Add meat and cook until brown, crumbling it as you stir. Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on a plate.

In a separate bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, eggs, salt, pepper, and parsley. When meat is cool, stir it in. Set aside.

When rolls are thawed and risen, roll them out on a lightly floured surface until paper thin. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons (approximately) filling onto half of the dough circle.

 Fold half of the dough over itself, then press edges to seal.

Brush surface of calzone with beaten egg, then bake for 10-13 minutes, or until nice and golden brown. Serve with warm marinara sauce.
