Using our quick food processor pizza dough or purchased dough, these stuffed turnovers are as easy to make as a flat pizza. If you like, serve the calzones with a bowl of extra sauce for dipping.

Makes 4 calzones

ACTIVE TIME: 25 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 40 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

Cornmeal for dusting
1 pound Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough (recipe follows) or other prepared dough
3/4 cup prepared marinara sauce or Basic Tomato Sauce (recipe follows)
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
1 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, rinsed and sliced (1/2 cup)
3/4 cup crumbled feta or ricotta salata cheese (3 ounces) (see Note)

1. Position rack in lowest position; preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle a baking sheet generously with cornmeal.
2. Prepare Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough, if using.
3. Divide the dough into 4 pieces on a lightly floured surface,. Roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Spread 2 tablespoons sauce on the lower half of each circle, leaving a 1-inch border. Season spinach with salt and pepper and distribute it over the sauce. Top with roasted red peppers and cheese.
4. Brush the border with cold water and fold the top half of each circle over the filling. Fold the edges over and crimp with a fork to seal. Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake the calzones for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
