Bread Machine Calzone

I love this recipe because you can make the dough in the bread machine. I found this recipe on allrecipes by Kevin K. I tweaked it a little for our taste. This recipe can be adapted to your taste. Put in more meat or more vegetables, be creative. Plan ahead for this recipe based on the amount of time it takes for your bread machine to make the dough.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/4 cups water
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  
• 1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon powdered milk
• 1 cup sliced Italian sausage and or pepperoni
  
• 3/4 cup pizza sauce
• onions, green peppers, mushrooms
  
• 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

1. To Make Dough: Place water, yeast, sugar, flour, salt, garlic, italian seasoning and powdered milk in the pan of the bread machine, in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select Dough cycle. After cycle is completed, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface.
2. Meanwhile, brown sausage for about 8 to 10 minutes in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat and reserve.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Shape dough into a 16 inch by 10 inch rectangle. Transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet, and spoon pizza sauce lengthwise down the center of the dough, followed by the browned sausage, vegetables and the cheese. Make diagonal cuts 1 1/2 inches apart down each long side of the dough rectangle, cutting to within 1/2 inch of the filling. Criss-cross cut strips of dough over the filling and seal edges with water. Brush top of calzone with melted butter.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
