Easy Calzone Pizza

Here's a kid-pleasing favorite that's not too hard on the budget. Even with less meat than a traditional Calzone, there's still plenty of flavor. Easy Calzone Rolls Hands-On Time: 10 minutes. Ready In: 30 minutes Serves: 6 to 8 people.

Ingredients:
2 loaves frozen bread dough-thawed
1/2 pound sliced ham
1/2 pound sliced hard salami
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup jarred marinara sauce
***
Directions: Roll each loaf of dough into a rectangle about 8 inches by 12 inches. Layer ham and salami down the center of each rolled loaf lengthwise. Top meats with 1 cup shredded mozzarella for each roll. Fold short ends of each loaf in about 1/2 inch and seal. Roll from the long sides and pinch well to seal the entire loaf. You should have 2 long rolls. Bake, seam side down on a greased baking sheet in a 375 degree F oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cut each roll into 8 slices and serve with marinara for dipping. Note: I have made this with ham, Swiss cheese, and steamed broccoli. Steaming first will help to reduce excess moisture from the broccoli.
