Calzones

Batch of pizza dough (can buy pre-made dough in most grocery stores where they make fresh pizza)
cornmeal for sprinkling
1 C ricotta cheese
1 egg beaten
1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese
1 C cubed mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 T minced parsley
1/8 t salt
20-28 slices pepperoni

Mix all filling ingredients except pepperoni in a medium bowl.

When dough is ready, punch it down and form into 4 equal balls.  On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat each ball into 6" circles

Place 1/4 of the filling on each half of each dough circle. keeping a 1 inch border free.  Place 5-6 slices of pepperoni in each calzone.

Dampen the dough edges with water.  Fold the dough semicircle over the filling and seal the edges by pinching them together.  Place the completed calzones on an ungreased baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden

If you don't plan on eating the calzones right away, let the calzones cool and store them individually in small resealable plastic bags.  Package the smaller bags in a large resealable freezer bag.  Label and store in freezer.  To serve:  thaw the calzones and heat calzones in 400 degree oven for 15-18 minutes.  Serve with pizza sauce.
