Ham and Cheese Calzone

By Erin Huffstetler, About.com

Make your own ham and cheese calzone, and skip the pizzeria mark up. Here's how:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
  • Pizza dough
  • 1 cup Ricotta cheese
  • 4 oz. Mozzarella cheese
  • 8 oz. chopped ham
Preparation:

1. Prepare a batch of pizza dough by hand or using your bread machine.

2. Then, divide the dough into two balls, and roll out each ball into a circle.

3. Top half of each circle with Ricotta, ham and Mozzarella, leaving a one-inch edge all the way around.

4. Moisten the edge of the dough with water, and fold the untopped side over the filling. Then seal the edges by pressing down with the tines of a fork. Finish by cutting slits in the center of each calzone to allow the steam to escape.

5. Bake at 490 for 10 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
