Quick and Eazy Calzone OR Pizza

So the last time I used Bisquick, was for biscuits last year! I forgot how handy it is! After numerous searches on "quick, no yeast pizza dough"-- I remembered I had Bisquick in the cabinet. SO I looked online and found a recipe for pizza dough AND a calzone. Both were off for the proportions of mix to water-- so below is my recipe. If you leave it flat, it's a pizza. If you fold it, it's a calzone. You choose.


Crust (for 1 pizza or 2 calzones)
3 Cups Bisquick
1 Cup Boiling Water
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Filling
1 Cup Tomato Sauce (I used Marinara Pasta sauce)
1 Tsp. Italian Seasoning
1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
Ground Pepper
Crushed Red Pepper
Your choice of filling/topping.
I used 1/4 C. chopped ham (leftover from Easter), a handful of spinach leaves, a couple slices of  fresh mozzarella, and 1/4 chopped artichokes

Preheat the oven to 450. Mix the Bisquick, water and oil until it turns into a dough. Flour/bisquick the counter and roll out the dough into a circle shape. Cut in half. Place on greased cookie sheet or pizza pan. Spread the sauce over half of each semi-circle. Fill same half with toppings and seasonings as desired. Fold over and using a fork, press the edge to create a seal. Pierce the top with the fork and place in oven. Bake for 16 minutes or until brown. If desired do an egg wash over the top (1 egg beaten with a little water) and sprinkle with parmesan before baking for an extra crispy crust.

Other filling ideas:
White Italian: Alfredo Sauce, Parmesan, Chicken and Broccoli
Greek: Mozzarella, Sun-dried Tomatoes, Olives, Feta
Supreme: Pepperoni, Mozzarella, Marinara Sauce, Green Peppers
Mexican: Chicken, Tomato Sauce, Pepper Jack, Sautéed Onions and Green Peppers, Salsa


Fun, easy and endless combinations! The calzone was easy to warm up for lunch the next day!
