Veggie Calzones

These were actually very tasty! It makes eight large calzones. I used the Pioneer Woman's pizza crust recipe found under "favorites" but you could do bread dough or whatever. Also these are freezable. There are instructions on how to recook at the end. I didn't make any but they would probably be good dipped in marinara sauce!

1/2 lb fresh mushrooms chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 Tbls oil
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped (I didn't seed mine and I used roma)
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
1 cup shredded Monteray Jack (I used cheddar)
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 loaves ( 1 lb each ) frozen bread dough thawed (I did one recipe of PW's pizza crust)
1 egg
1 Tbls water
garlic salt (optional)
Italian Seasoning

1. Saute onions, green pepper, mushrooms and oil until tender. Add tomatoes; cook and stir for 3 min. Stir in tomato paste; set aside. Combine cheeses and set aside.

2. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into eight pieces. Roll each piece into a 7 in circle ( I sprinkled garlic salt onto the dough before I put any filling on it ). Spoon a scant 1/2 c vegetable mixture and 1/4 c cheese mixture over one side of each circle. Brush edges of dough with water; fold dough over filing and press edges with a fork to seal. Place calzones 3 in apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 min.

3. Whisk egg and water; brush over calzones and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake @ 375* for 15 min. If freezing remove desired number of calzones from baking sheet and cool. Bake the remaining calzones 18-22 minutes longer or until golden brown (I made them ahead of time and cooked all eight for the first 15 min then I cooled four and put four in the fridge. I cooked the four from the fridge at 375* for 15 min). Serve immediately. Place the cooled calzones in freezer bags, will keep up to 3 months in freezer.

4. To use frozen calzones: Place 2 in apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake @ 350* for 30-35 min or until golden brown.
