"Delicious, satisfying, and very easy to make. My kids will even eat spinach this way! We serve them with warmed spaghetti sauce to dip them in and a salad. Yum!"
Ingredients:
| 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese 2 eggs 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese | 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry salt and pepper to taste 1 (32 ounce) package frozen white bread dough, thawed |
Directions:
| 1. | Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). |
| 2. | In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and spinach. Set aside. |
| 3. | Divide the bread dough into 8 pieces and roll each piece out to about an 8 inch circle. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the ricotta filling onto each circle, fold over and seal the edges. Place onto a greased cookie sheet. |
| 4. | Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until nicely browned on the tops and bottoms. |

I did a couple of things differently though. I used refrigerated pizza dough instead of frozen bread dough. Here is how I used and filled the dough; from another calzone recipe I have used for sausage and vegetable calzones;
- Unroll pizza dough on clean work surface. Pat out to 15x11-inch rectangle; cut lengthwise in half, then cut each piece crosswise into thirds. Top dough rectangles with mixture; fold in half. Seal edges with fork. Place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
- I also spread melted garlic butter on top of the calzones before cooking and when there was only a few minutes left to cook I brushed on a beaten egg white for a nice color.
- They are good with a garlic butter or marinara sauce for dipping.
