This Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Breakfast Calzones/Rolls

This was a recipe I had trouble with last week, so I tried again this week with a few changes, and they came out pretty darned good. It's a recipe from Robyn Nixon, and it was fairly bare bones, so I updated the recipe.

The main problem I had the first time was that this recipe calls for pizza dough. For some reason I could not get the pizza dough to stretch into a size that I could make the calzones/rolls with. It would just snap back.

This time, I ended up substituting crescent roll dough (which in itself is a substituion for dinner roll dough which I can never find around here), and it came out fine. When making the scrambled eggs, I'd very much season them like you normally scramble eggs, as they're the biggest flavor you have in the calzone/roll. I did forget I'd need cubed potatoes, so I substituted tater tots. They're potatoes.

I'd also suggest doubling the cheese portion, but that's just me. :)

# Breakfast Calzone

Robyn Nixon
6.0 calzones

14.0 oz Pillsbury pizza crust (cut into rectangles)
4.0 whole eggs (scrambled)
2.0 tbsp sausage (cooked) (crumbled)
2.0 tbsp bacon (cooked) (crumbled)
2.0 tbsp of potatoes (cooked) (finely cubed)
12.0 slices pepperoni
4.0 tbsp shredded Cheddar cheese
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

1 - Spread out the pizza dough to comfortably make the number of calzones you'd like.
2 - Cut pizza dough into the number of rectangles you need.
3 - Layer cheese onto half of each rectangle.
4 - Layer pepperoni on top of the rectangle.
5 - Spoon remaining ingredients on top of pepperoni and cheese.
6 - Roll the dough over mixtures. These can also be made into calzones by pinching all four sides of the pouch instead of simply rolling them.
7 - Pinch edges if you can. Might have to stretch dough. Rolled them over so the seams were on the bottom.
8 - On a parchment layered baking sheet bake at 400 degrees for 13 minutes
9 - Once browned removed from oven and spray with olive oil.

@Frances_Larina - Sadly, mine does not. You can change the dial so it "fits" better the actual heat, but it doesn't go far enough.
