#1720 - Sausage Calzone

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 loaf frozen bread dough (thawed)
garlic powder (to your taste)
pepper (to your taste)
1lb. loose Italian sausage (or regular sausage)
1 chopped red bell pepper
1 chopped green bell pepper
1 small onion (chopped)
2 beaten eggs
8oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
melted butter
sesame seeds for sprinkling

Cut the bread dough in half. Flour your counter and flour top of each dough--roll each half of dough into a square. Sprinkle garlic powder and pepper on each dough square. In a greased skillet add loose sausage, chopped bell peppers and chopped onions--cook/stir over low heat until sausage is browned and peppers/onions are tender--drain the mixture. Add 3/4 of the beaten egg mixture to the sausage mixture--stir. Place half of the sausage mixture over the top of each dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the sausage mixture on each dough. Brush the edges of the dough with remainder of the egg mixture and fold each dough in half--press the edges together to seal them. Use a pastry brush to spread melted butter over the top of each dough. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the melted butter. Place them on to greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until browned.
