    Divide bread dough into 6 equal pieces. On lightly floured surface using floured rolling pin, roll each piece into 7-inch round.

    Top half of each dough round with cheese mixture to within 1 inch of edge. Carefully fold dough over filling; pinch edge or press with fork to seal securely. Place calzones on cookie sheets.

    In 1-quart saucepan, heat pizza sauce over medium heat about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Serve warm sauce over calzones.

  • A calzone is a stuffed pizza that looks like a big turnover. To give these calzones a shiny top, brush them with a slightly beaten egg white before baking.
