Sausage, Mushroom, Green Pepper, And Onion Calzone

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet.

Combine the Italian sausage, mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sausage is cooked. Drain off any excess grease.

Add half of the pizza sauce to the skillet. Mix well.

Roll the bread dough out to a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet.

Spoon the sausage filling over half of the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the filling.

Brush the edges of the dough with water. Fold the dough in half over the sausage filling. Seal the edges with a fork.

Cut 2-3 slits in the top of the calzone with a sharp knife to let steam release.

Brush the top of the dough with water then sprinkle it with the Parmesan cheese.

Place the calzone in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

While the calzone is baking, heat the remaining pizza sauce in the microwave or small saucepan. Serve the sausage and pepper calzone hot with the pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
