These were a great and quick meal. I let my dough thaw overnight. Then, as I prepared my sides, I let it rise. I also added sauteed peppers, garlic and onions, and pepperoni. I served the pizza sauce on the side for dipping. It was Wonderful!!!

Next time will sauté onions with the sausage and use fresh mushrooms, use a bit more mozzarella mixed with a little ricotta.

We left out the mushrooms and in one calzone I substituted black olives instead of sausage. Both were awesome and my husband absolutely loved them. This will be one of our permanent staples.

Using bread dough was an interesting inspiration - made a softer crust. Delicious!

These were good. Basically you can put whatever you want in the calzone just like you would on a pizza. Delish!

I used sausage flavored "veggie-meat" made of soy and I used 8 oz of fresh mushrooms. I also used wheat Rhodes frozen dough. These were tasty, although as more of a pepperoni fan when it comes to pizza and calzones, I will try that instead for the filler next time. Great idea and the dough works perfect! Just wanted to add, I've now tried these with pepperoni and I left the sauce out and instead dip each bite into pizza sauce on the side. I use Italian blend shredded cheese and would give this version a 5 star!

Awesome! I used the Rhodes frozen bread dough as well. The hardest part was rolling out the dough so I wound up cutting the dough in half and only working with half of the loaf at a time. I used LOTS of flour to cut down on the stickiness. Will definitely add into our recipe rotation!

This was very easy and delicious. One Calzone was too much for one person. It feeds twice as many people as the recipe claims. Very good!

OMG, these were amazing! I didn't have any pizza sauce on hand so I had to make up my own using some fresh herbs and tomato sauce and paste. Yum! Even my picky 3 yr old ate his up and wanted seconds! I think this is a great base recipe, bc you can always sub pepperoni instead of the sausage and use other veggy's if you don't like mushrooms.

First time I've worked with frozen bread dough - ugh...not easy (seems you really need a rolling pin). To thaw quick, I placed the frozen loaf in a closed bag into hot water in the sink - thawed in minutes. Used fresh mushrooms, red, green peppers diced and sauteed in olive oil. Put this together with browned mild Italian sausage meat (cooked up with garlic powder & Italian seasoning). Really messy with the floured counter top but eventually got the mixture into the bread. Once the calzones were in the oven - I noticed I forgot the cheese! Put the cheese on the top of each calzone. Got kudos on the great taste. Next time should be easier.

I made these on Sunday when I make my other meals for the week. It was a little difficult to roll out the dough but that could just be me:) I froze them (pre-baked) and we ate them on Weds. They were fantastic! I only wish I could find frozen wheat dough.

Excellent recipe! Tastes great!! I made them with my boyfriend and we added more pizza toppings and veggies. Whatever you put on a pizza you can put in this calzone and it will be amazing!!

Simple and easy to make! I used turkey sausage, skim mozzarella, mushrooms and diced tomatoes w/ garlic & onion as the filling and Pillsbury pizza dough as the crust. They turned out great and were a big hit with my family! Thanks!

Used this ingredient list to make a witch's hat shaped calzone with pepperoni. Yum! My husband doesn't like tomatoes so this was great! Best of both worlds!

My entire family liked this recipe. (We used fresh pizza dough rather than frozen bread, but that was the only modification.) Make sure to use flavorful pizza sauce and sausage, since that's where the flavor is coming from. :) Would definitely make again.

These calzones were SOOO good. I used awesome-tasting Jennie-O hot Italian turkey sausage for a leaner calzone, and sautéed fresh white mushrooms in olive oil with freshly minced garlic and Italian seasoning (instead of jarred mushrooms). I also used Rhode's frozen bread dough like the previous rater suggested (delicious). Toward the end of the baking time, I brushed the tops of the zones with olive oil and parmesan cheese. I baked them a little longer, until they were golden brown. My fiancé LOVED them and the way our apartment smelled while they were baking :). He bragged about them at work the next day.
