What do you do when your attempt a fancy dinner fails and there’s no time for take-out? Crescent Calzones! (Even better when your husband keeps you calm in the kitchen, makes you laugh, and helps you cook!)

Crescent Calzones

Ingredients:

• 1 can crescent rolls (will yield 4 calzones)
• 1/4 – 1/2 C jarred marinara sauce
• 1 C shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 C packed spinach leaves
• 12 slices pepperoni
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp Herbs de Provence
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp cornmeal

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Pinch together two crescent triangles to create a rectangle. Do this four times.
3. Fill each rectangle with sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and spinach. Only do this on one half so you can fold over the remaining dough. With a fork, crimp the dough together. Cut a slit in the top of the dough with a sharp paring knife. Place calzones on a baking sheet sprinkled with corn meal – you could simply spray the sheet with non-stick cooking spray if you want. Note: you can substitute whatever protein/veggies you’d like. It’s a pizza – the limits are only in your pantry/fridge!
4. Brush each calzone with olive oil. Sprinkle with seasoning and salt.
5. Bake 12-15 minutes (or according to crescent directions).
