Pepperoni Calzone

Healthy cooking with kids

Nutritionist Jill Castle shows you how to make this hearty, healthy calzone.

Servings: 1 calzone, 2 servings

What you need:

1 pre-made pizza dough

1 package of sliced turkey pepperoni

½ cup of skim milk ricotta cheese

1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella cheese

2 teaspoon dried basil

 

Heat the oven to 375 F. Separate the dough into two parts, and roll out each one into a thin circle, about the size of a dinner plate. Combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and the basil in a separate bowl. Layer ¼ of the pepperoni on one half of the dough round. Add ½ of the cheese mixture on top and spread; layer ¼ of the pepperoni on top. Fold over into a half circle and pinch edges together, securing further with the tines of a fork. Do the same with the remaining dough round, cheese and pepperoni. Place both calzones on a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 30 minutes.
