Reuben Calzone

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line baking sheets with Silpat or greased parchment paper (I did neither, but used a pizza stone).

2. 2

   Roll dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness, then cut dough into 4 even pieces for smaller calzones (but you can make them bigger).

3. 3

   Spread some thousand island dressing in the center of the dough, using as little or as much as desired.

4. 4

   Place some cheese on top and top with 3 to 4 slices of corned beef, then a bit of sauerkraut, make sure to squeeze out excess liquid in sauerkraut before using (use a papertowel to blot it).

5. 5

   Finish off the pile with another slice of cheese.

6. 6

   Fold dough over the filling and pinch the edges shut, making sure nothing can leak out.

7. 7

   It might be easier to point them up and pinch them at the top.

8. 8

   Just close it somehow.

9. 9

   Repeat instructions for remaining calzones.

10. 10

    Gently spread a bit of olive oil on the outsides of the calzones before baking, and if desired, sprinkle with salt & pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.

11. 11

    Slice 2 to 3 holes in the top of the dough so that steam can escape.

12. 12

    Place the calzones in the oven for 17-25 minutes, keeping an eye out for the dough to turn a nice golden brown color.

13. 13

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then gobble up like a champ!
