Method

Adapted from foodista.com

1. 1Start off by cooking your sausage.
2. 2When your sausage is nearly cooked, add in the pepperoni.
3. 3Cook it up for a minute or two more until all the meat is cooked through.
4. 4Drain off the fat.
5. 5Now add in the garlic, basil, oregano, and onion.
6. 6Let it cook up and get hot.
7. 7Remove the mixture from heat.
8. 8Grab your dough ball, rip a good sized piece off and roll it out about ¼ thick.
9. 9Grab your filling and spoon in a few decent sized spoonfuls. Be sure to leave enough room to fold it over and seal up your edges.
10. 10Fold the dough over your topping.
11. 11Seal the edges up.
12. 12I rolled my edges into the top to seal it up.
13. 13Be sure to cut a few slits in the top of calzone so that steam can release as it cooks in the oven.
14. 14And this is optional, but I also brushed some egg white on the tops of these beauties to help them get a nice golden brown color in the oven.
15. 15Throw them in a preheated oven set to 425 for 15-20 minutes or until the top is a nice golden brown. I cooked mine on a preheated pizza stone to ensure the bottom had a nice, crispy crust.
16. 16Serve with pizza sauce.
