These hearty calzones are a must-try for any fan of traditional Philly cheesesteaks! They're packed with all the ingredients you would normally have on a hoagie bun. Layers of roast beef, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and lots of cheese are inside baked pizza dough. Gooey, these calzones are meant to serve a hungry crowd. While we were moving into our new home, I whipped this up because we didn't have much to work with. Everything was still packed, so I had to find something easy but filling for dinner. My husband couldn't get enough, and the kids loved it! It's now a must-have every other Friday night at our house!

Ingredients :
- 2 - pre-made pizza dough from the bakery
- 2 pound(s) rare deli roast beef
- 1 cup(s) mozzarella cheese
- shredded
- 1 cup(s) diced onions
- 1 cup(s) diced green peppers
- 24 slice(s) provolone cheese
- 1 can(s) sliced mushrooms (4 oz)
- 4 dash(es) olive oil
- extra virgin/to drizzle over top of ingredients
- - mayonnaise or condiment of your choice
Intructions :
- Roll out pre-made pizza dough from your local bakery to make a slightly thin square that would cover a cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In the center of the dough
- place one layer of shredded mozzarella cheese (approx. 1/2 cup).
- Then a layer of deli-sliced rare roast beef (approx. 1 lb).
- Then a layer of onions
- mushrooms
- and green peppers.
- Then a layer of sliced provolone cheese (approx. 12-15 slices).
- Add salt and pepper and a light drizzle of olive oil. Make sure to spray the cookie sheet with cooking spray before cooking.
- Once all the ingredients are there
- pull the top edge up and over all the ingredients
- and then do the same for the bottom edge
- overlapping the flaps
- and then tuck in the ends on each side so all the cheese doesn't ooze out while baking. Make sure to follow these steps for the second calzone as well.
- Roll the calzone over so that the overlapped side is on the bottom while cooking. Over the top of the dough
- slice three small holes to allow heat to evacuate through.
- Brush the top of the dough with a light sheen of butter.
- Put both calzones in the oven for approx. 30-35 min. or until the dough is a golden color.
- Each calzone should be large enough to cut into three. Two calzones should feed a family of six. Serve with a side of mayo or your favorite condiment!
- Please remember that all of the ingredients are to be split in half to make TWO Calzones.
