Gluten Free Calzone!



Ingredients:
  • Pillsbury Gluten Free Pizza Crust
(Sold in the pre-made dough section
see picture below)





 
 
  •  3/4 cup Ricotta cheese (Sorrento is GF)
  • 1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese (Sorrento is GF)
  • Olive Oil
  • Fillings: whatever you'd prefer.  
I suggest sauteing veggies/ 
cooking meats prior to putting
them into calzone.
 Directions
  •  Cook fillings (if using any raw meat or veggies)
  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Evenly spread a thick layer of olive oil on pan.
  • Cut block of Pillsbury GF pizza dough in half.
  • Kneed dough until softened and less "crumbly".
  • Spread dough over olive oiled pan into circular shape until about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 of your mozzarella cheese onto 1/2 of dough.
  • Put 1/2 of your ricotta cheese on top of mozzarella cheese.
  • place toppings on top of ricotta.
  • Place the rest of your ricotta on top of toppings.
  • Place the rest of your mozzarella on top of your ricotta.
  • It looks like this:



  • Fold empty half of calzone dough over (use knife to lift off pan without tearing dough- it will be fine as long as you use enough olive oil to coat pan.
  • Leave about 1 inch around edge of calzone to fold over top layer and seal dough shut.
  • It should look like this:


  • Bake for 20-30 minutes (depending on your preference).
  • It should look like this :)



  • Enjoy!
