Calzones....Super Easy Dinner

I get bored of having almost the same thing every other week for dinner so I decided to try this....making a calzone; I was a little worried it would be hard to make but it was way easy! My husband, parents and siblings all loved it!


What you will need:

• 1-2 pizza dough-it all depends on how big the family meal will need to be (get in the refrigerated section)
• Pizza sauce are marinara sauce
• Pizza toppings (Whatever you like!)
• Examples are: Cheese (any kind), mushrooms, olives, ham, Canadian bacon, onions, peppers, pepperoni, and sausage. Seriously though anything works as long as it is cheese, veggies and/or meat to put into it!

How to Make:

• Roll pizza dough into a rectangle the length of your baking sheet. It can be wider than the sheet because you will be folding the sides in. Place the dough on the baking sheet and let the sides hang off.

• Put sauce on the center half of the dough. 
• Just like if you were making a pizza add your toppings...in any order you would like but save the cheese to go on the top of everything
• Next cut the sides of the dough at about 3/4 inch intervals and don't cut all the way to the filling...you almost reach the filling though
• Once the dough is all cut you will wrap it all up by alternating sides of the dough; the picture will explain a little easier

• Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

This served six of us perfectly.

Not at all hard to make as long as you have the ingredients on hand!

Yummy Pretzel Bites!!

Ok, so I am addicted to Pinterest but I have found so really yummy recopies on there and the first one I tried was pretzel bites. They are super easy and super yummy!! :)

First you need a bag of Rhodes Roll dough from the frozen section at the grocery store 

• Grab out as many rolls as you want and let them thaw
• After they have thawed and risen a little you can either cut it into four pieces (horizontally and vertically) or roll it out like a worm and cut that into four slices.
• Once your pieces are cut let them rises for an hour or two

Once your bite size roll pieces have risen you next need to get a big pot of water and bring it to a boil; while the water is starting to boil place paper towel on a cutting board or a pan (I'll explain why in a minute)

• Once the water has come to a boil plop about 10 to 12 bites into the water and let them sit in there for 45 seconds. Make sure to get all the sides touches by water!! (The pieces of dough will rise) 
• after the 45 seconds are up remove the dough with a slotted spoon. Place the dough pieces on the paper towel so they can cool down and dry off! 
• Repeat this step until all your dough pieces have been into the water

Once they are all done with the past step you will remove the dough carefully and place them on a greased cooking sheet

Cook the pretzel bites at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. (I turn them half way through the time to help all sides cook evenly)

While they are cooking melt some butter in a bowl and get your topping you want to place on it out (Parmesan cheese, cinnamon and sugar, nacho cheese, or sea salt)

Once done cooking butter those pretzel bites generously and then either roll the bites in the topping or sprinkle the topping over the bites! 

Super easy to make and super yummy! Perfect for an after school snack or a party with family.
