Instructions

1. To form calzone, let dough come to room temperature.
2. Roll dough out on a floured board into a 9″ circle.
3. To make a Pesto Calzone, spread pesto, mozzarella, tomato, onion, and Parmesan on one half of dough circle, leaving 1/2″-1″ of dough clear around the edges. To make a Roasted Red Pepper Calzone, do the same with the sundried tomato tapenade, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, onion, and Parmesan.
4. Fold dough over into a half-circle, folding bottom layer up and over top layer and twisting it as you go, to form a rope-like edge.
5. Place calzone on grill and cook until grill-side is golden brown.
6. Flip calzone and grill similarly on the other side.
