RECIPE FOR SPICY CALZONES

4 large hot Italian Sausages
4 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Pizza dough
Marinara sauce for dipping

When dough is ready, preheat oven to 500 degrees F and oil a large baking sheet.

Fry sausages until done and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Place in a large bowl and add cheese, mushrooms, garlic and cayenne. Toss well.

Cut dough into 8 rounds and roll out each into 6-inch circles. Share the wealth of filling with each round, moisten edges with water, fold over, press lightly and seal/crimp.

Place on sheet and lightly oil tops of calzone-sometimes I dust with parmesan cheese. Bake for about 12 minutes.

Serve hot with warmed marinara sauce. Optional-olives and thinly sliced onions or use bacon and ham in place of sausages.
