Calzone Filled With Meatballs And Mozzarella

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly dust 2 baking sheets with cornmeal and set aside.
2. Divide the pizza dough into 4 even portions. Roll each into a ball and then flatten into a disk shape. Lightly sprinkle a work surface with a little cornmeal and, using a floured rolling pin, roll each disk into a 9-inch circle about 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch thick.
3. Divide the marinara sauce among the circles of dough, spreading it around the center of the dough and within 1 inch of the edges. Divide the meatballs among the circles, placing them on the lower half of each piece of dough.
4. Cover the meatballs proportionately with the grated cheese. Fold the top half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together, crimping with your fingertips. Set 2 calzones on each baking sheet. Brush the tops with the extra virgin olive oil. Bake the calzones till nicely browned, about 12 to 15 min. Serve warm or possibly hot.
5. This recipe yields 4 servings.
