Last week Sunny had an urge to make homemade spaghetti sauce and we decided to use it to make some Calzones. Below is the sauce recipe and pizza dough recipe which I just put in the bread machine and take out after it has risen (before it starts cooking).

1 tbsp. parsley
1 tsp. garlic powder1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
3 cloves garlic1/4 c. oil
1 sm. can tomato paste
In a large pot brown garlic in oil. Add tomatoes, paste, sauce and puree. Add all other ingredients. Bring to boil. Then simmer for 1-4 hours. Serve over pasta of your choice.
Homemade Pizza Dough
1 C. Water
1 package yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp. yeast)
2 T. Oil
2 T. Sugar
3 1/2 C. Flour
1 tsp. salt
Heat the water until luke-warm, add to bottom of bread machine. Add the yeast, oil, sugar (which helps the yeast grow) and flour on top. Then add the salt (which inhibits the yeast from growing). Let it rise.
If doing this in a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients and add to the water and yeast slowly while stirring with a spoon a couple times. Then you will need to just use your hands for best results adding more flour if needed. Let it rise.

Okay...the dough is ready and the oven is preheated to 350 degrees... Roll out a ball of dough into a circle, add toppings (hamburger, cubed ham, pepperoni, olives, cheeses, peppers, etc.) and then fold over and press the edges. Butter the top and add Parmesan cheese and poke a few holes with a fork.
Sunny and the kids putting their toppings on! They had a blast!
Cook about 20 minutes until brown and dough is done. They are steaming. We had to put the kids' in the freezer before serving.
