Tomato Calzones
 

Tomato Calzones

1 pound pizza dough
3/4 pound ground beef, sausage, or pepperoni
Four or five tomatoes very coarsely chopped
One hot pepper, finely chopped
Ten or twelve fresh basil leaves, chopped
Grated Romano cheese - about 2 or three ounces to taste

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. These come out much better if they are
cooked on a baking stone, or oil a large cookie sheet (not the insulated
sheets (like airbake for this recipe). Mix the tomatoes, cheese, pepper
and basil, let stand while doing the rest. If the dough has not risen a
bit put it in an oiled bowl, cover it with a moist towel and let it rise
until it is double in size. Handling the dough very gently so as not to
punch it back down, turn it out, and cut it in half. Turn it out to form
two circles about 10 inches in diameter. Cook and drain the meat. Put the
dough circle over a plate (some will hang over the side). Put half of the
meat and half of the tomato mixture on the dough in the center of the
plate. Spread it out a bit. Fold one half of the dough over the top and
press the sides together. Pick up the plate and turn the dough out onto
the oiled pan. Do the same with the other one. Bake about 20 to 25
minutes, or until it is a brown color.
