Calzones From Scratch
I wanted to make pizza using my neighbors pizza dough recipe, but my toaster oven is too small to fit a round pizza. So I decided to wrap it up into calzones!
It's a very simple recipe, and you can use any vegetables for the filling. I used onions and peppers, but you can do mushrooms or olives too.

Spread about 1-2 tbsp of sauce on the dough. Leave the edges empty.
Put in some veggies and shredded (or cut up pieces) yellow cheese.
Fold the dough into a half circle and close at the edges. Cut some slits in the top to let steam escape.
