THE DOUGH:
3 c. flour
1 pkg. dry yeast, 1/4 tsp. sugar dissolved in 1/2 c. warm water
3/4-1 c. cold milk
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. olive oil
FILLINGS:
1 pkg. frozen spinach, cooked and drained
1 c. Ricotta cheese
1 c. Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
1 sm. onion, chopped
1 tsp. garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
4 Italian sausages
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
4-5 mushrooms, sliced
1 (12 oz.) can tomato sauce
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1 c. Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. each oregano, basil, Italian spices, garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
TO MAKE THE DOUGH:
1. Measure flour into bowl. Add yeast mixture and oil. Then add salt and cold milk, mix until forms a dough. Let rest 5 minutes.
2. Turn dough out onto a floured board. Knead 50 strokes or until smooth. Let rest 5 minutes. Knead 20 more strokes.
3. Let dough rise in a covered bowl for 1 1/2 hours or until double in bulk. Turn out onto floured board and divide into 4. Shape into balls. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
4. As dough is rising, prepare filling.
FOR SAUSAGE FILLING:
Boil sausages for 10 minutes. Saute onion, pepper, and mushrooms in oil. Slice sausages and saute with vegetables, until sausages are brown and vegetables are tender. Add tomato sauce and spices. Simmer for 30-45 minutes until flavors are well blended.
FOR SPINACH FILLING:
Cook spinach until done, drain. Saute onion until tender. Mix egg, cheeses, onion and spinach with spices all together. Fill each calzone with 1/2-3/4 cup of filling and bake as directed.
5. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place large baking sheets in oven.
6. Twirl each ball of dough into a circle about 12 inches big. Place o pan to be baked on. Put about 1/2-3/4 cup filling on half of dough. For sausage filling, then top with cheeses. Fold dough over and press down edges to seal. Repeat for remaining balls of dough.
7. Bake for 6 minutes until golden brown.
BOSTON CALZONE
1 frozen bread dough
1/2 lb. pepperoni, sliced paper thin
1/2 lb. American cheese, sliced paper thin
1/2 green or red pepper, chopped fine
1/2 med. onion, chopped fine
1/2 pkg. frozen chopped spinach
Grease large bowl and place frozen dough in bowl, cover with towel. Put in warm dark spot for 6 to 8 hours. Dough will rise. Roll out dough and spread chopped veggies on dough. Sprinkle drained chopped spinach on top of veggies. Place thin sliced pepperoni on top of veggies, then place thin sliced cheese on top of everything. Now roll the dough tightly (I use a helper).
Place rolled calzone on a greased cookie sheet. Brush the yolk of 1 egg over calzone, poke holes in top and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Wait 10 minutes and slice on an angle

I don't know about dough, but I had this amazing calazone out once that had spicy andouille sausage with goat cheese. It was one of the best things I've ever eaten.
