combination calzone
I love pizza, lasagna, calzone's and everything Italian. I have looked at different recipe's and decided to do my own since I want something more then just the meat, cheese and mushroom calzone. I will warn you that this is time consuming but well worth it and will also feed an army. You can half the recipe, I just love to make more so I can share with friends and family. Hope you enjoy!

How To Make combination calzone
-
Step 1Start dough, I use my bread machine and this is why this recipe is time consuming. Make sure you use the dough setting. If you want you can use a premade dough from your grocery store.
-
Step 2Brown meat, drain and put in a large enough mixing bowl to hold all the ingredients for the filling.
-
Step 3Saute to just tender: bell peppers, onion, eggplant, squash, carrot and parsnip. Once done add to mixing bowl with the meat.
-
Step 4Add the rest of the ingredients for the filling to the bowl and mix together.
-
Step 5In a separate bowl mix together the cheese layer.
-
Step 6Once dough is done cut into 4 equal parts and roll each one out to a medium sized pizza round. Take 1/4 of your cheese layer and spread on half of the pizza and then pile on the meat/vegetable mix. Using one of the jars of Marinara sauce, spoon 4-5 spoonfuls over top and then carefully stretch the dough over and crimp edges.
-
Step 7Place on a greased baking sheet, pizza pan or stone. Whatever you prefer. Let rise in a warm place for 20-25 minutes.
-
Step 8Bake at 400 for 25 minutes.
-
Step 9Heat your marinara sauce in a sauce pan and serve over the top with Parmesan cheese.
